I know what you’re thinking, “worksheets, in a pre-k classroom?” As educators and parents we try to steer clear of dull, ditto sheets that bore our children and make them disinterested in writing. Listen, I get it. I agree with you. These free printables however are so much more than boring worksheets. While we don’t recommend letter of the week curriculum, the letter R worksheets for preschoolers are a hands on group of letter recognition worksheets that prepare our kids for reading and writing.
Learning About Letters:
FIND THE LETTER WORKSHEETS
BUILDING LETTER AND LETTER SOUND RECOGNITION IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF LEARNING TO READ AND WRITE. WHEN USING THE KINDERGARTEN LETTER WORKSHEETS STUDENTS CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE:
What letters look like the letter R? How can I use lines to write the letter R?
The traceable letter worksheets (free) can be used for preschool and/or Kindergarten students. The BEST part is when you laminate the printable activities you can reuse them time and time again.
The free letter tracing worksheets will allow your child to practice alphabet tracing, sorting uppercase and lowercase letters, reading simple sentences, writing, and simple math skills. What a great way to get kids to learn!
Need additional materials for writing centers? I’ve got you covered! Have a child that needs extra practice with fine motor skills? Look no further!
In addition to learning about letters and letter formation here are some more ideas for what you can teach about using the preschool letter worksheets:
- What other things start with the letter R?
- What other letters have a curve like in the lowercase r?
- How many R’s did you find? Can you count and color them all?
- How do the uppercase R and lowercase r look the same and different?
What Can Preschoolers Learn From Letters And Letter Sounds?
Analyzing Data with preschoolers
ASKING STUDENTS TO RECOGNIZE LETTERS AND RECALL THE SOUNDS THEY MAKE IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN DECODING AND SEGMENTING WORDS. USING THE LETTER FORMATION WORKSHEETS STUDENTS CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE:
- How do I best sort the pictures of things that do and do not start with the ‘R’ sound?
- What materials can I use to create a letter R?
- How does the letter P look like the letter R?
Why Is It Important For Kids To Write Letters?
Besides the fact that kids enjoy writing like ‘big kids’ or grownups, there are so many other reasons you should do practice writing activities with your child.
