What Children Practice With Literacy Worksheets

These literacy worksheets give preschoolers meaningful practice with letter recognition—both uppercase and lowercase—while also introducing beginning sounds to build early phonemic awareness.
Incorporating Christmas-themed vocabulary helps keep the activities engaging and seasonally relevant.

The worksheets include plenty of opportunities for letter tracing, handwriting practice, and fine-motor skill development, offering structured support as preschoolers strengthen their early writing abilities. You’ll also find picture-to-letter/word matching and activities that help build attention, vocabulary, and early literacy foundations.
