About this resource

What's inside this resource

These cut and paste worksheets for the letter F 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 F from amongst other letters or for those students who need extra practice distinguishing between the initial sounds in words. It is a great resource for students to practice recognizing the letter, or to evaluate students on their knowledge of the letter and its sound at the beginning of words.

These cut and paste worksheets are perfect for preschoolers and kindergartners who are working on identifying the most common initial /f/ sound in words as well as students who are learning to recognize the letter F in both capital and lowercase form.

There are 3 different worksheets for students to use to practice the letter F

* Sorting letters that are the letter F from letters that are not the letter F
- * Cut and paste page where students will glue the pictures that begin with the letter F on a football.
- * 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.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Pick out the letter F from among visually similar letters, including E, i and V
Tell capital F from lowercase f and place each in the correct column
Identify which pictures begin with the F sound and glue only those inside the football
Cut pieces apart and place them accurately inside a marked area on the page

Teaching tips

The three sheets rise in difficulty — beginning sounds, then case sorting, then F against look-alike letters — so running them in that order builds toward the hardest discrimination
The letter strip on the third sheet includes E and i, the two letters most often confused with F in early print, so those are the pieces worth watching while a child works
Each sheet stands alone, so a single page can be pulled for a child who needs only the sound work or only the case work
Cutting is required on all three sheets, which makes the set usable as scissor practice for a child still building that control
The columns on the third sheet are labelled with a capital in one heading and a lowercase letter in the other, so read both headings aloud before the child starts

Skills covered

Letter recognition — students separate F from letters that are not F, with E, i and V printed among the pieces to be sorted.
Upper- and lowercase matching — one sheet sorts capital F and lowercase f into two labelled columns.
Initial sound identification — the cut-and-paste sheet asks for only the pictures beginning with F to be glued inside a football outline.
Scissor and glue control — all three sheets require cutting pieces apart and placing them accurately within a marked area.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Which letters does a child have to tell F apart from?

The pieces printed on the third sheet are E, f, f, i, F, V and F — so the child sorts against E and i, which share F's vertical stroke, against V, and against F's own lowercase form.

Do the sheets cover the letter's sound as well as its shape?

Both. One sheet works on sound — gluing the pictures that begin with F — and the other two work on shape, one sorting capital against lowercase and one sorting F against other letters.

What is the football on the first sheet for?

It is the target area. Pictures beginning with F are glued inside its outline and the rest are left out, so a finished sheet shows the child's sorting at a glance without any extra recording.
