Letters Worksheets

The letters of the English alphabet are the 26 symbols A through Z, arranged in a specific, consistent order. Each letter, in both uppercase and lowercase forms, represents distinct sounds and serves as a fundamental building block for reading, writing, and communication. Mastery of these letters is the first step in literacy, enabling children to recognize words, construct sentences, and begin decoding and encoding text independently.

Education.com’s Letters of the Alphabet collection provides a wide range of resources to help preschool and early elementary learners become familiar with all 26 letters. With worksheets, guided lessons, interactive games, and hands-on activities, students practice letter recognition, uppercase and lowercase matching, and sound-letter correspondence. Early exercises introduce letters individually through visual cues, tracing, and simple phonics activities, while more advanced activities encourage sequencing, alphabetical order, and identifying letters in words and everyday objects.

Parents and teachers can make learning letters fun and interactive with activities such as sorting alphabet-themed objects, playing matching games, or sequencing letters with hands-on materials. Resources are designed to support diverse learning styles, from visual and tactile to auditory practice, and align with early literacy standards. By engaging with these materials, learners build the foundational skills needed for reading fluency, confident writing, and lifelong literacy success.

There is nothing quite like the pure joy that’s expressed on the faces of young children when they finally master the 26 letters of the alphabet. That joy filters down to parents and loved ones, too, because it’s the telltale sign that the youngster has unlocked the door to literacy. Our alphabet worksheets are intended to help push your child through that door with a variety of exercises that enlighten and entertain at the same time. To speed up the process even more, try some of these at-home ABC games: Put a bunch of fruit in a bowl and see if he can identify the items that start with various letters, like A (apple), B (banana), G (grapes), P (peach), etc. Place a handful of pieces of alphabet-themed cereal on the table, call out letters at random, and see if he can spot them. If that’s too easy of a challenge, grab a timer and see how long it takes him to put the pieces in alphabetical order. Hold up familiar objects—like a pencil, book, fork, or glass—and see if he can tell you the first and last letters of each object.
