Letter of the day page maker

One letter a day: see it, say it, trace it, write it

Make a letter of the day page. At the top is the letter drawn as an animal, with the word. Under it your child traces the capital letter and the small letter, with a start dot and an arrow, and writes them on a line. At the bottom is a short word that starts with the sound, with its picture, to read and trace.

The reading skill

Each capital letter is drawn as an animal or a thing that starts with its sound: A is an alligator, B is a bear, S is a snake. The picture gives the letter a hook to hang its sound on. X is a box with an X, because x is heard at the end.

Good questions

Which letters can I make?

Any of the 26. Type the letters you want, or choose A to Z for the whole alphabet.

Is it a coloring page?

No. In black and white the animal prints as a line drawing, and it can be colored, but the page is for tracing and writing.

What is the short word at the bottom?

A word a beginner can sound out that starts with the letter, such as sun for s, with its picture.

Can I print in black and white?

Yes. Choose “Black and white” under “Print in”. Every picture becomes a line drawing your child can color in.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
