About This Worksheet

This is a worksheet for the lowercase letter a.

Designed to aid children in learning to read
by helping them to recognize the letter sounds
with the aim to eventually blend lots of them together to make words.
This will aid in the early development of reading and writing.
Without the skills of reading, a child will find it difficult to access other subjects.

This simple worksheet can help reinforce verbal lessons that have been taught previously.
One example of a verbal lesson is playing 'I spy' with the letter a.

This worksheet has three sections
- Color the letter a.
- Trace around the letter a.
- Find the objects that begin with the letter a.

This worksheet has a drawing of an ant, apple, frog, airplane (aeroplane - UK spelling), soccer ball and arrow.
It is black and white to save on color ink.
It's a free printable download.
It is good for printing out and colouring in too.
It will help familiarize the letter a and how to write it.

It helps to introduce the phoneme and grapheme a.
A phoneme is a sound that the letter or groups of letters make.
The grapheme is the written letter.
For example the letter 'a' in this worksheet.

Ant, arrow and apple are examples of the a phoneme at the beginning of the word.

Age range 4+
