So you want to work on the alphabet letters with your child, that’s great. One of the best ways to improve your child’s fine motor skills, his or her ability to hold a writing implement, and practicing the alphabet letters with them, is by tracing on paper activity.

In order to do so, all you need to do is use the following free alphabet printables, and items that can be found in almost every household – by that, we mean to Backing Paper pencils and markers.

You can print each letter at a time (you can open each item in a new page and then print it) and work on each letter per activity – this way you can show your kid his improvement by comparing his or her work at the beginning, during and at the end of the activity, and celebrate that.

If your kid needs some more diversification or gets bored of repeating the same letter, again and again, time after time, you would probably want to print some consistent letters and work on that one after the other. The best thing you can probably do is treating all letters as a set and repeat tracing it again and again from the first letter in that set to the last letter in it.

Some kids are not interested in practicing the letters since they are not familiar with this new world of content. If this is your case, try to incorporate some other printables from other worlds of content. This way you can test if your kid’s interest and willingness to work on the alphabet grows naturally with experience. For this purpose, you can use some coloring pages regarding a topic close to his or her heart like animals, musical instruments, sports, people or maybe just objects. This may work or it may not, but if it won’t, the best thing to do will probably be, wait patiently and check from time to time and see how interested your kid is in taking things forward. It is best letting your child move ahead at his or her pace.

The principles here, in terms of main goals, are teaching your child and developing his or her language skills (as far as to knowing the uppercase letters and knowing how to write them), fine motor skills, and maybe above all, associating practicing with high performance and his or her high personal abilities, including self-improvement.

We included the uppercase letters free printables for tracing because it is probably better to start with the uppercase since most kids find those easier than the lowercase letters. Once your kid knows the uppercase form you can move on to the lowercase letters. For start, you can focus on those and just expose your kid to the lowercase letters – you can point a lowercase letter of a uppercase he or she already knows while you are reading a book, or maybe by using coloring pages that include both the uppercase and the lowercase forms.
