Alphabet Printable Activities: Find-and-Circle, Matching and Missing Letters

Worksheets work best when each one has a clear job. Here are four printable activity types and the skill each one builds.

1. Match the letters

Draw lines between capitals and small letters. Builds: upper and lower case recognition.

2. Missing letters

Fill in the gaps in a row of the alphabet. Builds: alphabet order and sequencing.

3. First letter match

Draw a line from each animal to the letter its name starts with. Builds: beginning sounds, the first step to phonics.

4. Colour by letter

Use a colour key (A = red, B = blue and so on) to colour each space. Builds: fast letter recognition and fine motor control.
