About these alphabet coloring pages
One page per letter, all twenty-six, with the capital and the lower case drawn as hollow outlines rather than solid blocks. Colouring the shape of a letter is a genuinely useful way to learn it: the child spends a minute inside the form instead of glancing at it. Every letter has a real word, including the awkward ones.
What people use them for
- Letter of the week in a preschool or reception class
- Early phonics alongside the picture and extra words
- Printing the full alphabet as a 26 page activity book
- Home learning between formal handwriting practice
Getting a good print
- Paper weight matters more than the printer. 120 gsm or heavier stops markers bleeding through; ordinary 80 gsm copy paper is fine for pencils and crayons.
- Print at 100%. Scaling thins the outlines, which is the opposite of what a young child needs.
- Black and white only. The page is pure outline, so a monochrome printer costs nothing in quality and very little in toner.
- Laminate for reuse if you are using dry-wipe markers with a group.
