Fun-filled ABC Worksheets and Videos for Preschoolers

For preschoolers, learning should be exciting! Every day brings new opportunities for exploring the world and everything in it. This includes making sense of all the letters that are on everything from street signs to cereal boxes. While most adults take simple tasks, like learning the alphabet, for granted, children are more than eager to take it all in. They mostly do this through daily play, but they must also be guided by parents and teachers who can provide the right resources. That’s where Kids Academy can help! 

We already know that children learn the best while having fun, so learning materials should be exciting and feel more like play and less like hard work. To accomplish this, the best resources incorporate familiar, friendly illustrations, vibrant colors, and relatable tasks. Worksheets should feel more like games or puzzles, and videos should be entertaining with songs and cartoon-like images.

Kids Academy is proud to provide fun-filled ABC worksheets and videos for preschoolers, along with short guides that help parents get started teaching their kids the alphabet. Keep reading to find a preview of the worksheets and videos we offer to enrich your little learners’ early education! 

Exciting Videos to Engage and Educate

Whether it’s in a restaurant waiting for a meal to be served, or while in the car, videos are great for entertaining kids on the go. But all too often, the videos available on YouTube are mindless, like theme songs on an endless loop, or toy unboxing episodes, none of which teach kids anything. Instead, why not offer videos that are educational and entertaining? 

This video offers a review of the full alphabet, alongside illustrations that help kids remember the sounds each letter makes: 

At thirty-two minutes long, this video is an excellent choice to offer preschoolers when they’re on the go but need something to stay entertained. It captures their attention using vivid animation and a friendly voice that coaches children to say each letter sound. Don’t let them watch another unboxing video when they could be learning their ABCs instead! 

As preschoolers master their ABCs, they will eventually learn to recognize uppercase versus lowercase letters. This video focuses on recognizing capital letters:

As they watch, they will view each uppercase letter as animations appear that include related images. By pairing words that begin with the same letter as that shown on the screen, children begin to form associations between visually recognizing letters and the sound they produce, reinforcing both early reading and writing skills. 

Make Learning an Adventure with Fun-Filled Worksheets

Worksheets sometimes get a bad rap for drilling kids with boring exercises and problems, but our worksheets are different!  Kids Academy understands that children learn best when they’re having fun, so our worksheets are designed to be exciting and engaging. 

One way we do this is by creating tasks that are intrinsically relevant, such as activities that are easily relatable: 

Both the letter fishing and cheerful balloons worksheets pictured above share the same premise: to capture the learner’s attention by assigning them to find the fish or balloons that contain letters of their name. Young children are naturally self-focused and there isn’t anything more relevant to them than their very own name! 

By looking for letters, not only are kids working on letter recognition, but they must also consider which letters make up their name, possibly by sounding it out. Such skills are integral to mastering reading readiness skills, but completing these worksheets feel more like puzzles that challenges them to hunt down the right letters.  

Something else that makes our worksheets fun is offering activities that children already like to do in their free time. For example, even toddlers love to color! For younger learners who are just being introduced to the alphabet, coloring pages like this one are the perfect choice: 

Completing this worksheet is simple because it involves coloring in the letter and the words that begin with it! While they color, encourage kids to say that name of each picture and to think about the letter that each of those words start with to create a connection between the visual and sound. 

As kids progress to learning to trace letters, they do so, but not without combining fun and friendly illustrations that make the experience more joyful, as in this cute worksheet: 

Here, preschoolers get valuable practice tracing letters, but they also find the pictures that contain the matching letter sounds. The images are positive and bright, which capture a child’s attention to keep them engaged. 

Finally, many of our worksheets are real puzzles to solve, and what do kids love better than mazes? Both the uppercase and lowercase worksheets shown above share the same goal: to solve the maze by only drawing a line through the specified types of letters. For the rabbit worksheet, learners only find uppercase letters, and they find the opposite—lowercase letters—to solve the bee worksheet. 

Of course, these aren’t the only worksheets available at http://www.kidsacademy.mobi. Browse our entire collection of ABC worksheets to find the best resources for your child, no matter their age or current learning level!
