How do I print alphabet coloring pages?
On this page you pick a letter and print one sheet with a giant outline letter, uppercase and lowercase, to color. The same sheet has a line of dotted letters to trace and three words that start with the letter, each with lines for copying. The other layout is a poster with the whole alphabet in outline on one sheet.
How to use it
- Pick the layout: One letter or Whole alphabet.
- On the one-letter layout, pick the letter.
- Tap Print the sheet. In the print window, keep the scale at 100% (or choose Fit to page on Letter paper).
What is on each sheet
- A giant outline letter, uppercase and lowercase side by side, with wide space to color.
- One ruled line with dotted letters to trace with a pencil.
- Three common words that start with the letter, in capital letters, each with its own lines for copying.
- On the poster, the 26 letters on a single sheet: the uppercase letter in outline to color and the lowercase letter beside it.
Using it at home
- Let your child choose the colors and color the letter in any style: stripes, dots, one color for each part.
- Read the three words out loud and have your child repeat the first sound.
- On the back of the sheet, your child draws one of the words.
- Tape the alphabet poster to the bedroom wall at your child's eye level.
Using it in class
- Print the letter of the week for the class and make a display with the colored sheets.
- Print one letter for each student and build the class alphabet on the wall.
- Use the poster as a desk alphabet: each child colors one and looks at it when writing.
- With the three words as a start, make a class list of other words with the same letter.
Ways to vary the activity
- Fill the giant letter with tissue paper balls, sequins or magazine cutouts.
- Paint with a cotton swab, making dots inside the outline.
- Cut out the colored letter and glue it on card to make large movable letters.
- On the poster, color the vowels in one color and the consonants in another.

No. Each sheet has the letter and three words that start with it, with no pictures. Children can draw one of the words on the back of the sheet.
Which words come with the letter X?
Xylophone, X-ray and xenon. Few common English words start with X, so the list uses the best known ones.
Does the poster have all 26 letters?
Yes. The poster shows the alphabet from A to Z on a single sheet, with each uppercase letter in outline to color and the lowercase letter beside it.
Why does the list include the letter Ñ?

Can I use these in class?
