Learn to Write Worksheets for the Whole Alphabet

This is a first, simple 'learn to write' book teaching letter formation linked to beginning sounds for young children.

Learning to write and learning to read go hand in hand, and this book was designed to bring the two together right from the very start. Rather than practising letter shapes in isolation, each page anchors the letter to a picture and a sound, so the child is always connecting what they see, hear and write.

Order and steps:
Each page has a picture of something that begins with the sound to be practised. The child can colour the picture while thinking about the sound it begins with.

The letter is then practised first in lower case, then in upper case, and finally alternating lower and upper case, so the child gets plenty of repetition without it feeling repetitive.

Red dots indicate where each letter starts, and arrows show the direction of travel on the first letter of both the upper and lower case rows - useful for parents and teachers who want to be sure they are guiding the child correctly from the outset.

Finally, each page finishes with a simple question, encouraging the child to think of other things that begin with that sound, and stretching their spoken vocabulary a little further each time.

By teaching the letters alongside their letter sound, we make the learning of phonics truly multisensory - seeing, saying, and writing all working together to help the sound and shape stick.

The book is sized perfectly for little hands, making it easy for young children to hold and manage independently as their confidence grows.
