Letter O Worksheets & Printables
Worksheets and printables for teaching the letter O. Practice letter recognition, letter formation, handwriting, and beginning sound O.
The letter “o” can be more comfortable for children to identify because of its simple circular shape. Show children how to make an “o” with their thumb and index finger. You can also have them look in the mirror to see how their mouth forms an “o” when they say the letter name.
Use alphabet posters or individual alphabet charts for children to refer to when learning to recall the letter “o.” You can also provide them with opportunities to use tools like magnetic letters, letter tiles, letter stamps, and flashcards. They can make the letter “o” using playdough or go on a letter hunt to find as many “o’s” as they can.
Provide children with opportunities to trace the letter before moving on to independent practice. Beyond traditional paper and pencil activities, children can make letter “o’s” using materials like whiteboards, chalkboards, sand or salt trays, and fingerpaint. They can also practice the motion needed to print an “o” using juggling scarves in the air.
Children can complete matching activities to practice letter sounds. Have them match the letter “o” to the correct picture. (e.g., Match “o” to an omelet.) You can also have them color the correct pictures to match the sound. (e.g., Color the olive. Don’t color the grapes.)
