Color by Letter Worksheets for Kindergarteners (Free PDF Printables)
Kindergarten is the time to build a strong reading foundation and working to master the alphabet is a big part of that. This bundle of color by letter worksheets gives your child a chance to reinforce their letter recognition skills while they enjoy coloring.
Here’s an overview of how this free bundle of printable PDFs can help your child and a few ideas for adding even more fun and learning to them.
How Can Color by Letter Worksheets Help with Reading Skills?
In kindergarten, many kids fully master the letters of the alphabet and their corresponding sounds. Then, they’re ready to start turning those sounds into words. Practicing with letters gives children a chance to do the following:
- Make letter-sound correspondence automatic. Children can work on recognizing letters and the sounds they make with ease.
- Read and write all letters in both uppercase and lowercase.
- Prepare them to start turning those letters and their individual sounds into words.

Help your kindergartener practice their understanding of letters with the worksheets in this bundle. Kids will have an opportunity to work on identifying uppercase and lowercase letters and letter pairs with an added element of fun, as they color (or paint) their way through this bundle of printable worksheets.
Each of these worksheets features a picture that is broken into sections and labeled with a letter. Kids match the letter to the color named in the key, then select the corresponding crayons to bring the pictures to life. Here are a few tips to help your child make the most of these worksheets.
⭐ Repeat the Fun
Slip the printed worksheet pages into clear sheet protectors, then use dry erase markers to complete the activity. This way, kids can use the same page over and over again or share the pages with siblings or friends.
⭐ Opposite Letters
Have your child write the uppercase version of each lowercase letter shown in the image and say the sound it makes as they color.
⭐ Consonant or Vowel?
Ask your child if the letter they’re coloring is a consonant or a vowel. If it’s a vowel, ask them to say the long and short vowel sounds it makes.
⭐ Pick a Word
As your child colors in each letter, ask them to think of two words that start with that letter.
