Free Letter Tracing Worksheets for Preschoolers

When my son was first learning to write, letter tracing worksheets gave him a simple way to practice forming letters without it feeling like too much.

These free printable letter tracing worksheets include all 26 letters from A to Z, with uppercase and lowercase tracing, a picture to color, independent writing practice, and a letter recognition activity.

They’re designed for preschool and pre-K kids who are beginning to form letters and build pencil control. You can print the full alphabet or just use the letters your child is currently working on.

What’s Included in the Alphabet Tracing Printables

The printable includes 26 alphabet tracing worksheets, with one page for every letter from A to Z. Each of the preschool worksheets follow the same simple format, combining handwriting practice with coloring and letter recognition.

Letter Tracing Practice

At the top of each page, kids can trace both the uppercase and lowercase letter several times. This gives them guided practice with letter formation before they try writing it independently.

Color the Picture

Each worksheet includes a picture beginning with the featured letter, such as an apple for A, bird for B, or cake for C. Kids can color the picture while making the connection between the letter and its beginning sound.

Write the Letter

After tracing, kids can practice writing the letter independently in the blank box. This gives them a chance to try forming it without dotted lines to follow.

Find the Letter

At the bottom of each page is a simple letter recognition activity. Kids find and trace the featured letter among a mixture of other letters, giving them extra practice recognizing both letter shapes and forms.
