Hello Daydreamers!
As a homeschooling mom, I’m always on the lookout for fun and dynamic ways to teach my children.
I enjoy creating worksheets that not only help my kids learn but also make it fun for them. As a result, I have put together some “A worksheets” that I’d like to share with you for free.
I have included over 50 worksheets to help your child master the letter A. You can print as many pages as you want for your child, student, or homeschooling co-op.
All these pages are in a PDF format and designed to print on letter-sized paper. I tried my best to utilize the space but also give you enough room to perforate them and use a binder.
Feel free to print as many copies of the worksheets as you need for teaching purposes. However, please note that selling or claiming them as your own is prohibited. If you know of any fellow moms or teachers who would like to use them, please share the link to this article with them.
There are two ways to download the worksheets:
- Click on the page you want to download to open a new window with a PDF format, then proceed to print from that window.
- Trigger a download to your phone or computer by clicking the yellow “Download PDF” button under each page you want to print.
Check out the other letters in the alphabet as they come out, too. I’m working hard to have them all out soon.

Letter A – Writing Practice Sheets
First, we have the “Letter A – Writing Practice Sheets”. Let’s start by practicing the letter “A” in uppercase and lowercase.
I’ve also included letter formation prompts to help guide your child’s writing.
Depending on your child’s age, they may only write a few letters, and that’s perfectly fine!
I’ve provided a few different options for these practice sheets so you can offer some variety and keep things interesting.
At the bottom of some of these writing practice worksheets, you’ll find an additional component to spark your student’s curiosity.
If you have very young children, 2-3, you may want to start with something short, like the following practice sheet.
Cursive A – Writing Practice Sheets
Next, we have the “Cursive A – Writing Practice Sheets” that include letter formation prompts to guide your child while learning to write cursive uppercase and lowercase “A.”
Kids aren’t taught cursive writing that much anymore, but I read it can still be very beneficial because it builds fine motor skills and can activate a distinct part of the brain compared to regular writing.
I also included the letter formation prompt so you can guide your student while he learns how to write.
- Cursive uppercase A: Fall back around, up, down, curve up.
- Cursive lowercase a: Fall back around, up, down, curve up.
Although similar to other A sheets, each one has a different illustration.
Printing one of these worksheets can also give you extra ideas. For instance, you can do a small lesson about aquariums and angelfish.
I’ve also included the ASL sign for the cursive A.
After your child colors and traces the worksheet, you can have them cut small pieces of paper and glue them to fit the letters.
Find, Color, and Circle Worksheets
The “Find, Color, and Circle Worksheets” are great for younger students as they don’t take much time but place a great emphasis on the letter “A.”
Tip: If you’re in a one-to-one setting, allow the child to use a special marker so that they feel extra special when completing the activity.
Dot markers (affiliate link) are another way to help children learn their letters, and you can pay attention to what your child likes, as it will help you tailor their learning as they grow.
Illustration-based learning is so much fun; my kids love it, and I am sure yours will, too!
I also have a different worksheet with the lowercase a because kids learn with repetition. Both sheets have other illustrations to spark curiosity in your kids.
Line Tracing Practice With Emphasis in Letter A
Line tracing worksheets are an excellent way to help develop your child’s fine motor skills.
It’s a good idea to have your little ones practice line tracing before they even get started with letter tracing.
The following line tracing worksheets emphasize the letter “A,” so you can expose your child to this letter in a fun way.
They get a bit more complicated as you scroll down, but they’re still entertaining and unique.
You can have the students use different colors on each line, and at the end, with supervision, have them cut through the dotted line.
Help the child identify the words that start with “A.”
Aren’t all of these illustrations adorable?
Letter A Maze Worksheets
Mazes are a fantastic way to instill problem-solving and cognitive skills in your kids. They help children think outside the box, sharpen memory, and teach patience and dedication.
The following mazes are for children aged 5+. They are easy but also challenging, so your students will gain confidence as they practice.
The following maze is shaped in the form of an uppercase A.
This one is shaped in the form of a lowercase a.
See if your student can deduct that before you point it out!
If you want your child to practice writing while having fun with mazes, consider printing the following maze. It can serve as a prize once they finish working on their writing.
Kids, by nature, love mazes and labyrinths.
I also have some classic mazes.
- Help the ants get to the anthill.
- Help the astronaut get to the asteroids.
Explain to the child that astronauts don’t necessarily go to asteroids. However, the word asteroid starts with the letter “A.” You can plan a small science lesson about astronomy to teach your child more about space and the different objects that exist in the universe.
Read and Match Worksheets
Have the student color the pictures and match them with the right word.
If the child doesn’t know how to read, he may need your help. You can read the words to them and encourage them to repeat them after you. This can help them improve their vocabulary and language skills while enjoying the activity.
Tip: Use these worksheets to teach what words start with a short or long vowel “A.” This can help them improve their phonics skills and better understand vowels’ different sounds.
Cut and Glue or Memory Game
The following worksheets can be used in different ways.
I first designed them to have the child color, cut, and then glue the illustration on the right word.
You can also use them as a memory game by printing the worksheets twice.
Start with the number of sheets your child has the attention span for. Kids learn at every moment of the day, so it shouldn’t feel like a chore for them.
I Spy Worksheets for letter A
Make the most of your child’s time and learning by playing the fun ‘I Spy’ game.
Encourage them to color and count the different pictures that start with the letter ‘A’ and write the number at the bottom of the page.
This game is perfect for restaurants, road trips, or any time you want to keep your child entertained and engaged in learning.
Identify the Different Image Worksheets
I enjoy helping my children develop their cognitive skills by incorporating other subjects. This activity involves identifying which illustration is different from the rest.
All illustrations begin with the letter A.
If the student is struggling to identify the letter A, the following worksheet may help. The worksheet requires them to identify the different variations of the letter A.
Oh, and I also made one with the uppercase A.
Coloring Pages for Letter A
Coloring is an excellent tool for teaching children. The following worksheets are beautifully designed, and some of them include sections for practicing writing skills.
I also love the “A is for astronaut” worksheet. Astronomy has always fascinated me, and I am in awe of God’s creation.
Tip: Ask the child if he can count the different types of ants.
It’s incredible how much you can teach your child from just one page.
For example, take the “A is for avocado” worksheet. You can teach your kids where avocados are grown the different types of avocados, and even make guacamole at the end to enjoy with some chips.
Take time to explain the invention of airplanes to your children.
Letter A Flashcards
Learning doesn’t always happen at the table. Sometimes, snuggling up on the couch and having flashcards is good.
Print, laminate, and cut them to reinforce the letter wherever you go.
All of these flashcard worksheets have examples of the uppercase and lowercase A.
Color, Letter, and Number Recognition Worksheets
Teach your little ones numbers, color, and the letter A simultaneously. The beauty of teaching small children is that everything is interlaced, making things more enjoyable.
Instruct the student to draw a line to match the number of “A”s correctly.
On the following worksheet, your child will practice counting, identifying the uppercase from the lowercase a, and picking the right color.
Out of all the worksheets in the article, this one is one of my favorites. I understand the cost of printing in color, so I am mindful of it.
Word Search
Find the words that start with the letter a.
Word search activities are entertaining; they help with spelling, improve concentration, keep the brain active, and help develop problem-solving skills.
Are you planning on going on a long trip? Print a couple of these, and hand them over to your child.
I included three different worksheets because one is just too little for how amusing they are.
That’s it!
So there you have it – a variety of fun and engaging “A worksheets” to use with your students or children. Don’t forget to keep things interesting by mixing and matching different worksheets and illustrations.
Happy teaching!
