How To Use These Alphabet Block Patterns For Preschoolers:

Choose a letter to start with. You can work from A-Z or do the letters completely randomly.  

Some children are very motivated to learn the letters of their name, so that may also be a great place to start!

We start the activity off by stating which letter it is. We speak what the letter name is and then start with beginning sounds. I point to the picture, ask what the picture is, and then emphasize the beginning sounds.

Next we build the letter with the pattern blocks, while using the diagram on the sheet. When the letter is formed, we use the dry erase marker to trace the letter.

We also talk about what the pictures are on the left side. These are all pictures of words that begin with the letter on the mat. This is a great introduction or reminder of beginning sounds.

The last part of the mat is to count the number of each shape used. It is fantastic to integrate a little math skill practice with our literacy stations! We count the number of each block and write them inside the block picture.

When we are done with the first letter, we move the pattern blocks off and start on our next letter.

Other Ways To Use These Printable Pattern Block Templates:

• After you practice each letter, see if your child can go find something in the house or classroom that begins with that letter.
• Get your child moving by having them practice forming the letter with their body or by tracing it in the air.
• Pair this activity with your letter of the day or week activities for extra upper case letter practice.
• Pattern block mat activities are a great way to get your kids moving around your home or classroom. With flexible seating and on trays, letter practice doesn’t have to be restricted to just a table or desk.
• Check out some of these awesome alphabet themed books to go along with your pattern block alphabet activity!  See if your child can search and find the upper and lowercase letters they have been practicing and identify them by themselves.
