About this worksheet
A to Z laid out in a grid with a scattering of empty boxes. Each blank has exactly one right answer, and the only way to find it is to know what comes next.
This is two skills at once, and the second is the interesting one. Writing the letter is handwriting practice; working out which letter is missing means holding the alphabet as a sequence rather than a song. Plenty of children who can sing the alphabet end to end cannot say what follows P on its own, and this page shows that gap immediately.
Let your child sing up to the gap if they need to — starting from A and running forward is exactly the strategy that eventually becomes instant recall. Filling the easy boxes first and coming back is also fair game.
How to use this sheet
Singing up to the gap is a strategy, not cheating. Running forward from A is how sequence knowledge is built, and it drops away on its own once the order is secure.
