Alphabet & Letters worksheets for 3 year olds
Eight alphabet & letters worksheets pitched at 3 year olds, free to print with no account and no watermark. Most are straightforward, with four that step up for a child who is ready for more.
Letter recognition and formation, starting with capitals.
They assume a child who copies vertical, horizontal and circular strokes, which is typical at three. If that is not there yet, the age 2 sheets are the better place to start.
Sheets in this set include Trace Capital Letters M to R, Trace Capital Letters S to Z and Trace Capital Letters G to L. Each is one page on A4, laid out with margins wide enough that nothing is lost printing on US Letter.
Five to ten minutes at a time is plenty at this age, and going outside the lines is the expected outcome rather than a mistake. Print in grayscale to save ink, or slide the sheet into a plastic pocket and hand over a dry-wipe marker so the same page lasts a month.
