From paper to practice

How to use My first letter

Print your edited sheet, sit beside your child, and show one example before they try. Use a few rows or one small task at a time; there is no need to finish the whole page in one sitting.

You will need: Crayons or colored pencils, plus a pencil for tracing.

  1. My first letter use example: Notice the first letter.

    Notice the first letter

    Read the name at the top and point to its first letter. Find the same large letter in the middle of the page.

  2. My first letter use example: Color the letter and picture.

    Color the letter and picture

    Decorate the big letter, then color the picture. The picture belongs to the paper theme; it is not a phonics clue for the letter.

  3. My first letter use example: Trace the name below.

    Trace the name below

    Show how the large letter begins the full name. Trace the name on the bottom line, or point to the first letter again.

Make it work for your child

For letter-and-sound practice with a matching picture word, use the Letters A–Z worksheet. This activity introduces a personal initial.

Print the sheet you just edited

Choose Letter or A4 to match your printer paper. Download the PDF and print at 100% or actual size. Check the preview before printing. For another child, change the name and add that edited sheet to your print pack separately.

Before you print

Does the picture represent the first letter sound?

No. The large letter is the first letter of the name you enter; the picture comes from the paper theme. Use Letters A–Z for a letter worksheet with its own matching English picture word.

Do we need to trace the full name too?

The bottom line offers name tracing, but you can begin by pointing to or coloring the initial. Show how that first letter appears in the full name when your child is ready.

Can I download this worksheet for free?

Yes. Customize the name, paper theme and size, then download a one-page PDF, PNG or SVG. No account is needed. The PDF contains the current preview; the worked example below is a separate illustration.

How do I collect sheets for later?

Click Add to print pack after editing a sheet. Open the print pack in the header to review your saved sheets, change their order or copies, and download them together. Adding a page saves its current version; later edits do not change it.
