Preschool English worksheets
Preschool English, for three and four year olds, is the hand before the head: tracing lines and shapes, cutting practice, then letters, then the child's own name, on wide penmanship guides with a dotted model to follow, and then the first sound of a picture's name.

- Beginning sounds Say the picture's name out loud. Listen to the sound it starts with, and write the letter that makes that sound.
- Dolch pre-primer sight words The pre-primer words are your first forty sight words: little words like the, my, and jump that show up in almost every book you'll ever open.
- Missing letters The letters always come in the same order. Say the letters you can see, and the missing one is the next letter you say.
- Picture words Say the picture's name. Then trace the word beside it, starting at the top of each letter.
- Rhyming pictures Say both picture names. Words that rhyme end with the same sound. Write both words.
- Uppercase and lowercase letters Every letter has a capital and a small letter. They have the same name and make the same sound.

Letter formation
- Cutting practice Thumb on top, open wide, close slowly. Turn the paper with your other hand and keep the scissors pointing away from you.
- Letter tracing Every letter starts at the top. The capital is tall; the small letter has its own size and its own home on the lines.
- Number tracing Numbers start at the top too. Trace the dots, then write the number on your own.
- Shape patterns A pattern repeats. Say the shapes out loud, find the part that repeats, and draw the shape that comes next.
- Tracing lines and shapes Put your pencil on a dot. Follow its dotted line all the way to the end without lifting your pencil.
Words and joins
- Color words Color words are the names of colors. Say each word as you trace it, then write it on your own.
- Name tracing generator Your name is the first word you learn to write. Start each letter at the top, and keep every letter sitting on the line.
About preschool English
Every sheet prints free, and the tracing sheets take the letter or the name from the page itself, so a print is always the one this child needs.
