Letter S Worksheets help preschool and kindergarten kids recognize, write and hear the letter S with 30 print-and-go alphabet worksheets.

Make S the letter of the week! These worksheets give kids lots of ways to see, trace, find and hear S from Saturn to spider.

Kids trace uppercase S and lowercase s, trace picture words and read simple “S is for” sentences. Find-and-color pages, I Spy dot marker pages and Roll and Write help kids spot S among other letters.

Cut and sort, beginning sound and read-and-color pages connect the letter to its sound and to real words. Using one letter in so many ways builds letter knowledge, phonics and fine motor skills all at once.

Print a set for each child for letter of the week, morning work or homework.

How to Use Letter S Worksheets

Say the letter name and sound together.
Trace uppercase S and lowercase s on the tracing pages.
Find, dot and color the letter on the activity pages.
Finish with the cut and sort and read and color pages.

Small Group: Work through one page together. Say the sound of S and name a few words that start with it.

Independent Practice: Add one or two pages to morning work or a letter of the week folder. Kids complete them on their own.

Easy Ways to Differentiate These Worksheets

Every group of kids has a mix of letter knowledge, phonics and fine motor skills. These simple changes keep the activity familiar while meeting each child where they are.

For Children Who Need More Support:

Start with the uppercase tracing page.
Use highlighter lines for kids to trace over.
Say the letter sound together before each page.
Work on one or two pages at a time.

For On-Level Practice:

Complete the full set over a week.
Say the letter sound each time you find S.
Find S in books around the room.
Check work with a partner.

For an Extra Challenge:

Write S and s without tracing lines.
Name three more words that start with S.
Read the sentence pages on your own.
Write a word that starts with S.

For Speech, OT, ELL or Special Education Support:

Model the letter name and sound and give plenty of wait time.
Accept pointing, gestures, AAC or any communication method the child already uses.
Use dot markers, scissors and glue for added fine motor practice.
Repeat the same small set of letters across several sessions.
Practice the S sound with words kids already know.
