Alphabet Activity Worksheets for Kindergarten
- Use pictures on your worksheets; images are more interesting to a student than a sheet full of words or letters. Additionally, pictures allow students to see the connections between letters and the real world. For example, including a picture of an elephant on the "E" worksheet will remind them the word, 'elephant,' starts with the letter E.
- Some alphabet worksheets have the capital and lowercase form of the letter for the children to color. Provide examples of the letter for them to trace and allow more space so they can write the letter several times. Another option is to include full words for them to trace, so they can start spelling words. Include the days of the week or the names of colors written in their respective shade.
- Hand out one worksheet with capital letters on it. Cut out lowercase letters and give a pile to each student. Instruct the students to glue the lowercase letters next to the matching capital letter. Give the students a dot-to-dot page; instead of following numbers to create the picture, they follow the letters in order. Create a maze where students follow the letters to get to the end.
- Some students have not used worksheets before entering kindergarten. Therefore, slowly integrate them into the day. After you teach the students several the letters, hand out the first worksheet and work on it together as a group. Send a worksheet home each night with the students, so their parents can work on them with their child, making the process less intimidating for the little ones.
