Three-piece letter puzzle maker

Capital, small letter and picture: three pieces

Make three-piece letter puzzles. Each strip holds a capital letter, its small letter and a picture that starts with its sound, with the word. Dashed lines cut the strip in three. Your child mixes the pieces of a few letters and puts each letter back together.

The reading skill

Matching a capital to its small letter and to a picture for its sound ties together the three things a child must know about every letter.

It checks itself

The cuts have different shapes, so pieces of different letters do not fit.

Five puzzles on a page

The whole alphabet prints on six pages.

Good questions

Does every letter have a picture?

All but x. The x strip has two pieces.

Which picture goes with a letter?

One of our key pictures: a short word that starts with the usual sound of the letter, such as sun for s.

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.
