Coloring pages

Letter coloring pages that do double duty: the crayon practices the shape while the mouth practices the sound. Every letter prints on two pages — six pictures to color (three beginning-sound words plus three big-letter designs), then a bubble-letter practice sheet with a trace row and a draw-your-own box. Free, no sign-up.

Start with letter A

Every letter, its own coloring page

Two pages per letter — six pictures to color first (the three words that start with the letter's sound, then the letter with its picture, all three words around the letter, and a star-border poster letter), then bubble capitals and lowercase with a light-stroke trace row and an empty box that dares your child to draw the letter's best thing:

Coloring that counts

How to use these coloring pages

Coloring a letter is pre-writing practice in disguise: the crayon travels the same path a pencil will later, at whatever speed the hand can manage, and the child owns the shape before anyone asks them to reproduce it small. Say the sound out loud every time the crayon starts a new region — the pairing of shape and sound is the whole lesson, and it happens naturally while coloring.

Every letter prints on two letter pages in portrait, black outlines on white, with no watermark and no sign-up. The Download PNG button on each page saves the picture page as an image — handy for tablets, drawing apps, or printing a fresh copy after the first one comes home thoroughly colored.
