What is on each alphabet mat

Each page holds one letter. The big letters are light gray, so a finger or a crayon can follow the numbered arrows. Under them is a row to trace the capital and a row for the small letter, a row to write on when there is room, and a box for a drawing of something that starts with the letter. Nothing is printed in the box: the picture is the child's own.

Three examples

  • An alphabet mat for A: a big light gray A and a with numbered stroke arrows, two trace rows and an empty drawing box.
    The letter A on US Letter paper at the Ages 5-6 size: capital and small letter, a trace row for each and the drawing box.
  • An alphabet mat for capital M: one big light gray M with stroke arrows, a trace row and an empty drawing box.
    Capital M only, at the Ages 3-4 size: one big letter, one trace row and a larger drawing box.
  • A cursive alphabet mat for s on A4 paper: a big light gray cursive s, a trace row and an empty drawing box.
    Small s in cursive at the Ages 7+ size on A4 paper, with the stroke arrows turned on.

Questions and answers

What is an alphabet mat?

A one-page sheet for a single letter: the capital and small letter drawn big to trace, a row to practice each one, and a space to draw something that starts with that letter.

Can I print all 26 letters at once?

Yes. Under Which letter, choose All 26, A to Z to get one PDF of 26 pages, one mat per page from A to Z.

Why is the drawing box empty?

The box is for the child's own drawing of something that starts with the letter, such as an apple for A. No pictures are printed on the mat.

Can I use these mats for a letter of the week?

Yes. Print the mat for the week's letter, or print all 26 and use one page each week. Each letter also has its own tracing page with more rows, linked from the letter tracing worksheets.

Can I make a set for a whole class?

Yes. Under Class set, type up to 30 first names to get one PDF with the same mats for each student, each with that student's name on the Name line.
