Alphabet Worksheets

Materials

• Printer
• Paper
• Dot Markers

PREPARING THE WORKSHEETS

Print the pages on printer paper and have kids use dot markers to identify the featured letters.

Or, you can laminate the pages and have kids complete the pages with dry erase markers or small manipulatives.

Completing the Activity

Children will search for lowercase letters which helps improve their visual discrimination skills.

As they find each featured letter, they’ll dab it with a dot marker. This practice helps strengthen motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

If you don’t have dot markers, kids can cover the letters with clear gems or bingo chips or just color them with crayons.

Differentiated Instruction

Some children may find the worksheets easy to complete, while others may find them more challenging.

If you have a child who is struggling to find all of the letters, you can help them by providing a little extra support.

You can do this by sitting with your child and helping them to find the letters. Or, you can give them a hint if they get stuck.

Early finishers can turn the page over and write as many Thanksgiving words as they can.
