Follow a to z, or follow one letter
Make a letter maze. In the alphabet maze your child colors a path from a to z in ABC order. In the one-letter maze the path is made of a single letter, hidden among other letters. Every press of “New version” makes a new maze.
Your worksheet:
The alphabet maze practices ABC order, which children need for word walls and dictionaries. The one-letter maze makes a child look closely at one letter shape again and again.
In the alphabet maze the next letter is never beside the path in two places, so there is one way from a to z.
The maze is a grid of letters with no pictures to distract. Moves go up, down, left or right.
Yes. Press “New version” and the path and the letters change.
Yes. Leave “Answer key page” on and it prints as the last page.
Yes. Choose capital letters.
