Teaching letter identification and formation can be tough, especially when you are teaching preschool, pre-k, or kindergarten students. These little learners have a short attention span and developing fine motor muscles, and many have had little to no introduction to the alphabet. This set of alphabet worksheets are meant to supplement a rich, hands-on learning experience and are not to be the only literacy activity to teach letter identification and formation.

Alphabet Worksheets to Practice Letter Formation
Letter Worksheets! Engage students with these letter formation practice sheets that have multiple activities for each letter. It is a fun way for students to use various writing utensils to complete the pages while focusing on one letter at a time. Before letter writing, practice drawing straight lines, curved lines, and slanted lines with students. I love using fine motor journals to start writing with young children.Â
Alphabet Pages! Slide the alphabet worksheets into a binder for a reusable writing letters activity. Give students thin dry-erase markers and bingo chips to complete the alphabet pages. They will practice letter formation, beginning letter sounds, and letter identification for capital and lower case letters.
Letter Dot & Trace! Have fun with dot markers while practicing letters and beginning sounds. Then, practice letter formation on the bottom of the worksheet for fine motor skills practice. These alphabet letter formation worksheets are a fun way to practice letter recognition skills and practice letters.
Dot & Trace Pages! Use magnetic bingo chips to make these letter worksheets reusable and portable. Clear the page with a magnet wand. There are letter formation practice sheets for all the letters of the alphabet. There are lots of visual aids to help young children identify the entire alphabet. Â
Alphabet Trace! These simple letter formation worksheets are perfect for little learners to practice tracing capital and lowercase letters. These will help develop fine motor strength while students trace the letters and a picture that begins with that sound. These are great for a small group, speech therapy sessions, occupational therapy sessions, and more.Â
Letter Trace! Use dry erase markers with a page protector to make these letter worksheets portable and reusable for your students. Students can practice proper letter formation and letter tracing skills for young children.Â
Letter Color by Code! Uncover the missing letters by coloring the letters the matching colors. The colors are not picked for you, so you can decide which different color you want students to use while completing these pages. Plus there are pages for every letter of the alphabet and capital and lowercase.Â
Alphabet Color by Code! I love to slide the letter printables into page protectors so students can use dry-erase markers to do them more than once. This works great for these color by code letter worksheets. Students practice identifying the particular letter and distinguishing it from other letters to find the hidden letter.
Letter Roll & Trace! Practice math skills and letter identification and formation with these fun roll and trace worksheets. Students will roll a die and then count the dots. Then, find the matching die face and trace the letter. Students can play until the page is full or until one number wins.
Alphabet Roll & Trace! Students will roll and die and count the dots. Then they will find the matching number and trace letters. Take it a step further by asking them to say the letter name and if it is capital or lowercase. Slide the pages into page protectors or wipe and write pockets to make them dry-erase marker friendly.
Alphabet Spin & Trace! Play a fun spin game with letters! Make a spinner by putting the point of a pencil through a paper clip for students to flick and spin around the letters, or use a brad to make a spinner if you don’t have these spinners. Students will spin the spinner and then find a matching letter to trace on the paper. Play continues until all the letters have been traced or until one letter has been completely traced.
Letter Spin & Trace! Students will spin the spinner and then find a matching letter to trace on the paper. Play continues until all the letters have been traced or until one letter has been completely traced. Make a binder of reusable letter games by putting the worksheets into page protectors. Then, give students dry-erase markers to complete the paper. And don’t forget the spinners!
Letter Mazes! Identify the letters to find your way from start to finish. My students loved searching for the letter and figuring out what path to take to complete the page. Use dot markers, markers, crayons, play dough, pom poms, buttons, mini erasers, etc to make the game even more fun!
Alphabet Mazes! I love using magnetic bingo chips for activities because they are so easy to clean up. Simply wave a magnet wand over the top, and all the chips are collected, and the paper is ready for the next friend.
Alphabet Dot It! Grab your dot it markers and have fun identifying letters and distinguishing between capital and lowercase letters. My students love dot it markers, and this is a great way to give them something educational while they get to use them. Plus, the colors aren’t chosen for you, so they can pick the 2 colors they love the most to use to complete the paper.
Letter Dot It! Make this letter dot it practice page a reusable center by having students use magnetic bingo chips to do the letters and then clear their pages with a magnet wand. These are great for small groups, morning tubs, arrival time, early finishers, and more!
Alphabet Book FREEBIE! Make a mini alphabet book with your students during your literacy time. They can practice letter identification and formation while also becoming familiar with the letter sound and a picture with a matching beginning sound.

Remember, this set of alphabet tracing worksheet shouldn’t be the only way that you are teaching letters to your students. Kids do their best in the classroom when there is a variety of activities that are hands-on and engaging! I like to keep alphabet worksheets for morning tubs, arrival time, early finishers, substitute teachers, small groups, quiet time.
