This Elf Read, Trace & Color Worksheet supports early literacy skills by helping children read, trace, and color the word elf. Kids will read the bold word, color the outlined version, trace the dotted letters, and finish by coloring the cute elf picture. With a simple layout and a festive holiday theme, this worksheet is perfect for preschool and kindergarten learners beginning to recognize and write short words.

Start by having children point to each letter in the word elf and say the word aloud to build print awareness and confidence. Encourage them to use fun colors when coloring the outlined version to make the activity engaging. When tracing the word, guide them to begin at the top of each letter and follow the dotted lines slowly for proper letter formation.
After tracing, children can color the elf to strengthen fine-motor skills. This worksheet works well for literacy centers, morning work, small-group lessons, or Christmas-themed reading activities.
