These alphabet printables will help your early learners get started at the very foundation of spelling -- with letters. It's never too early for your children or your preschoolers to begin to recognize letters! And, there are SO MANY things to learn about letters! First, there's letter recognition, or knowing the names of every letter, including the upper and lower case forms. Then, children need to know the order of the letters of the alphabet. Finally, there are letter sounds, and learning to put letters together into words.
In our first worksheet, children will put the letters of the alphabet in order. To make this a very "hands-on" activity, they will cut out all the letters, rearrange them, and paste them onto a new page.
On our second spelling worksheet, they will
finish spelling some simple words and then write the words in
alphabetical order. These skills are so simple and so important . CCSS.ELA-Literacy
