Free Printable Uppercase Alphabet Pattern Block Letters

Pattern blocks are a wonderful math manipulative that kids love! They have many other uses besides teaching math.  Kids love using pattern blocks because they are open-ended and feel like play. 

The small, colorful shapes are perfect for making learning hands on and engaging.  My kids LOVE plastic pattern blocks. They can follow mats or create their own designs. Preschoolers will love building letters and practicing their alphabet with these Free Printable Uppercase Alphabet Pattern Block Letters!

When introducing uppercase letters, discuss how they differ from lowercase letters. When do we use upper and lower case letters? Write some words on a paper or whiteboard and have children point out the upper and lowercase letters. The English alphabet uses lowercase letters more often, so it is important that children recognize and know the difference.

Discuss the letter, beginning sounds, and the pictures on each page.

Next, build the letter with the pattern blocks, using the diagram on the sheet. Last, the child traces the letter with a dry erase marker.
