Hi Jo Elizabeth. Do you know the name of the toy? I would love to get one of
those for my daughter.
Thanks
Jeri

There's also a set you can get that has a module you put the letters in, and
the module sings a little song about each letter and the sound it makes. 
It's well worth the money.  I think I got mine as a gift, but I've seen it
on Amazon, along with a more advanced one that has lowercase letters and
asks a child to spell simple words like cat and box.

Fridge magnetic letters are great. They are tactile and accessible. We
bought a set of wooden ones from Doug and Mellissa through Amazon for Penny.
They were only about six or seven dollars, and Penny loves them.
Of course, you will need to know what the letters feel like to identify
them.

Sincerely,

I help my child as well.  I do have someone who helps with tracing letters
since I have no clue how if some one knows how I can do this as a blind
person let me know.
