How to Use the ABC Coloring Sheets

The FREE Printable ABC Coloring Sheets can be used as coloring sheets, an emergent reader, or as a coloring book. There are 26 pages, one to represent each letter of the alphabet. The capital and lowercase letter, basic picture, and repeating sentence structure is featured on each of the ABC Coloring Sheets. Determine what method of use works best for your student.

Individual Sheets

When you use the sheets individually, you really get to focus on the letter sound and how to write the letter. Take this time to show them how to form the letter. Let them trace the letters.

Tip #1: When you have a young child, one sheet at a time is appropriate, unless he asks for more. It is always better to stop before they get bored or tired rather than push them to exceed their limit. You don’t want your child to associate learning with negative feelings.

Tip #2: If you do not have a color friendly child, try water colors instead.

Emergent Reader & Coloring Book

Another way to use this set is as an emergent reader and coloring book. In this option, make sure to print out the title page as a front cover. This option is most appropriate for older preschoolers and into early elementary. When you first go through the booklet, break it down into parts over the course of several days. After your child has had time to color all of the pages, continue to use the book during reading time. The more you read the book, the more effective it is.

Tip #1: To create a hand-sized book, print the PDF 2 pages to a sheet. Next, sort the pages in alphabetical order and staple.
