These letter sounds and letter identification practice worksheets are aligned to the Science of Reading and are exactly what your preschool and Kindergarteners need to master letter names, letter sounds, and handwriting!

I designed these alphabet worksheets to create a letter names and sounds book for my preschool-aged daughter as I teach her the alphabet in a way that aligns to everything I’ve learned about the Science of Reading!

37 SOUNDS INCLUDED:

• A-Z
• A, E, I, O, U have separate pages for short sounds AND long sounds
• QU (can be used in lieu of Q)

BONUS SOUNDS

• CH
• SH
• TH (voiced)
• TH (unvoiced)
• WH

There are 148 worksheets included.

For each letter sound, you’ll find 4 worksheets.

The worksheet style and directions are intentionally the same for all 37 sounds so that students can focus on learning the new letter-sound correspondence at hand, VS using mental energy to figure out a new activity.
