Tactile letters 

Tactile letters are didactic equipment designed for kind to explore alphabet and letter shapes by the sense of touch. Maria Montessori was the first, who used tactile letters in the education process.

The main purpose of this equipment is to fix the shape of letter for children, who have reading disorder - dyslexia or writing disorder - dysgraphia.

In our project we want to make tactile letters by 3D printing methods. We chose this topic after the consultation with special pedagogue. Our vision was to create project which would be used by special pedagogue in their lessons with children, who have learning disabilities. Our goal was to create project result which could be used in practical life.
