About this sheet
What is on the page, and how to get the most out of it.
A dotted apple to trace and colour, with a dotted uppercase A beneath it and the line A for Apple.
Starting the alphabet at A is convention rather than difficulty. An A is actually one of the harder capitals to form: two diagonal lines meeting at a point, then a crossbar between them, three separate strokes in all.
Diagonals are the last direction young hands master. Children draw confident vertical lines first, then horizontals, and only later manage a line that slants. So an A attempted at three often comes out with the legs uneven or the point rounded off, and none of that is a problem.
The apple is the more useful half of this page. Tracing a rounded outline before tackling the letter warms the hand up, and colouring it afterwards gives a finished result even if the A itself was hard.
If your child is struggling here, the C and H sheets are gentler and there is no reason to work through the alphabet in order.
What your child practises
Two diagonals and a crossbar, which makes A harder than its position in the alphabet suggests.
- Drawing slanted lines in two directions
- Joining two strokes at a point
- Tracing a rounded outline before a letter
- Linking the letter A to the sound in apple
Common questions
Does this sheet have lowercase letters too?
No, this set is uppercase only. Capitals are usually taught first because they are made from simpler, more separated strokes, and most Indian preschools introduce them before lowercase.
My child finds the A difficult. Should we keep going?
Try the C or H sheet instead. An A needs diagonal lines, which are the last direction young hands manage, so it is a surprisingly hard letter to start on.
Should we work through the alphabet in order?
There is no need. Grouping letters by how they are formed, such as all the straight-line ones together, tends to work better than A to Z order.
