Explore the alphabet through colouring and tracing with British English words and spellings, including jumper, lorry, wellies and yoghurt.

I created this downloadable resource to give children the opportunity to colour while practising writing uppercase and lowercase letters.

Each letter includes:

• A picture to colour.
• Uppercase and lowercase letters to trace.
• A word to trace.
• A listening question about letter sounds.
• An additional handwriting practice page with a consistent format: repeated tracing, single starter letter and blank row for independent practice.

For X, the main page uses fox to focus on the /k/ and /s/ sounds that x makes. Two extra pages feature xylophone and x-ray, with prompts to compare how x sounds in each word.

You can print the whole book or choose individual letters to use in class, during tutoring or at home. These pages were designed for children who are beginning to recognise and write letters, with adult support for reading the questions and discussing sounds.

This download includes 54 printable A4 activity pages in PDF format, ready to print at home or school. No physical book is included.

The yoghurt illustration on the letter Y page was generated using Canva’s AI tool. Other illustrations are licensed Canva graphics. The educational content and page layouts were created by Tutoring by Courtney.
