About this resource

What's inside this resource

These cut and paste worksheets for the letter E are great for letter recognition and beginning sounds. They are a quick and easy activity to give students who need practice with recognizing the letter E from amongst other letters or for those students who need extra practice distinguishing between the initial sounds in words.

There are 4 different worksheets for students to use to practice the letter E

  • * Sorting letters that are the letter E from letters that are not the letter E

    • * Cut and paste page where students will glue the pictures that begin with the letter E on an egg.

    • * Cut and paste page where students will sort and glue pictures according to their beginning sounds, with long vowels and short vowels

    • * Sorting page where students will look through various forms of print and cut out examples of the letter and sort by capital letters and lowercase letters


      These alphabet worksheets can be used in the following ways

    • * Literacy centers

    • * Fine motor centers

    • * Small group activities

    • * Homework

    • * Morning work

    • * Emergency sub plans


  • Skills assessed with these letter E worksheets

  • * Letter E Recognition

  • * Initial Sound of the letter E

  • * Distinguishing between the long E and short E sound

  • * Cutting skills

  • * Fine Motor Skills


  • Three of the worksheets are print and go. You only need to add scissors and glue. The other worksheet is low prep, as you need to gather printed materials for students to cut out examples of the letters in addition to scissors and glue.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Recognize the capital and lowercase forms of the letter E

  • Identify pictures whose names begin with the letter E's sound

  • Distinguish between the long E and short E vowel sounds

  • Practice cutting and gluing small pieces accurately as part of each sorting task

Teaching tips

  • Use one page at a time as a quick literacy-center or morning-work task rather than assigning all four at once

  • Pre-cut the letter squares on page 4 for younger students who need extra support with scissors

  • Pair with the letter's phonics lesson to reinforce beginning-sound recognition alongside the long/short vowel sort

Skills covered

  • Letter recognition — students sort capital E and lowercase e, and distinguish E from look-alike letters such as F and C.

  • Beginning-sound identification — students glue pictures whose names start with the E sound onto an egg outline.

  • Vowel-sound discrimination — students sort pictures by whether they use the long E or short E sound.

  • Fine motor skills — every page requires cutting out small pieces and gluing them into the correct category.
