Support your students’ phonics journey with our interactive Find & Colour: Alphabet Worksheets! Designed to promote letter recognition and phonemic awareness, this resource allows young learners to explore the alphabet through engaging visual cues and hands-on colouring fun. Each worksheet focuses on a single letter, helping students isolate beginning sounds and connect them with matching images.

Students are encouraged to search for images that begin with the target letter and colour them according to the key. This simple yet effective format helps reinforce the relationship between letters and sounds in a way that is both tactile and meaningful. Ideal for use during literacy rotations, morning work, or phonics warm-ups, these worksheets can easily be adapted to suit various ability levels.

Find & Colour: Alphabet Worksheets can be used again and again by placing them in write-and-wipe sleeves and pairing them with dry erase markers. For an extra challenge, teachers can extend the activity with writing tasks, real-world scavenger hunts, or sensory-based learning experiences. With so many possibilities, this resource is a valuable tool in any early years literacy toolkit!
