Learning Letters in the Early Years:

ALPHABET ACTIVITIES GIVE CHILDREN OPPORTUNITIES TO PLAY AND LEARN AT THE SAME TIME!

MATCHING UPPERCASE AND LOWERCASE LETTERS BUILDS A CRUCIAL FOUNDATION FOR READING SUCCESS.

Hands-on learning activities for preschoolers give them multiple opportunities to explore concepts at their own pace. Letter matching games introduce these crazy shapes we call letters that all have different names and different sounds.

I like to incorporate alphabet printables all year long, giving the same information in multiple ways. It keeps learning upper and lowercase letters from getting boring while also instilling a sense of confidence in our young learners as they begin to make sense of it all!

Milk & Cookies Alphabet Matching Game uppercase and lowercase alphabet matching cards on black and white scrapbook paper

This ABC printable includes twenty-six uppercase letters on chocolate chip cookies and twenty-six lowercase letters on glasses of milk.

In addition to practicing matching the letters, you can get your students thinking about letters, sounds, and the “code” of reading!

  • What lowercase letters match the uppercase letters, except they are smaller?
  • What letters use curved lines? Straight?
  • Do some of the letters look like numbers?
  • Which letter sounds are similar/different?
  • What sounds do you make with your lips? Mouth? Throat? Tongue?

How To Use The Free Alphabet Matching Printable

ALPHABET WORKSHEETS AND GAMES with preschoolers

MATCHING WORKSHEETS, ALPHABET TRACING CARDS, COLORING PAGES, AND LETTER GAMES KEEP STUDENTS ENGAGED IN THIS VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC.

All you need to do is print the alphabet matching free printable pages onto white card stock and laminate them.

Cut the cards apart, then it’s time to play! Children can play independently, with a partner, or with a small group. You could even play with the whole group to introduce and practice the game before sending students off on their own.

Children can simply make a pile of milk cards and a pile of cookie cards and start searching for matches.

Alternatively, you can create small groups of matched cards for students to work on 5-10 letters at a time.

Or, make it into a game:

  1. Place one set of cards face up in a grid on the floor.
  2. Use the second set of cards as the draw pile (upside down).
  3. Students take turns drawing a card and searching for its match.

This activity easily provides differentiation opportunities for your literacy center.
