Alphabet Coloring Pages
Do your students enjoy drawing pictures and coloring in? With these A to Z alphabet coloring sheets, your children can slowly learn how to write letters while having fun!
All alphabet coloring sheets contain the uppercase and lowercase of the letters A to Z. Firstly, children can color in the letter, helping to improve their grip and fine motor skills. After that, children can trace the uppercase and lowercase letters carefully. Next, your children can use their imagination to draw a picture of something beginning with the letter. When finished, children can do the last part of the sheet where they will circle the matching letters.
These sheets are designed to be used one per lesson. Try to demonstrate the sheet at the front of the class before giving out the sheets. Be sure to check the sheets afterward to keep track of your student’s progress.
The worksheets are designed to be used before your student starts to read. After your students can correctly identify the letters and the letter sounds correctly, then your children can start to read simple 3 letter words. The worksheets come in 4 different sets which also correspond to our alphabet flashcards.
