Alphabet dot to dot pages
These connect the dots worksheets use uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and occasionally a combination of them when there are more than 26 dots to join. They are easy to follow and doing so is very logical for children. Once the alphabet is completed they just change to capital letters or numbers and continue.
It is a good idea to get children to read the letters aloud as they join them. This will help them learn and remember their ABCs and add speaking to their letter recognition practise.
To challenge learners further they can add a word for each letter. A for apple, B for bread, C for cat, and so on. Once they are done, they can also write the name of the animal they have completed on the worksheet.
Create your own alphabet dot to dot pages
A great activity for learners (and teachers) is to create their own dot to dot with alphabet letters puzzles. You don’t need any software or even a computer to do this. Pencils/pen and paper are all that is required.
First of all, you will want to get an image or shape that you like and then cut it out. This could be something very basic such as one of these fish outline templates. You can of course find something more challenging, it is up to you!
Next place your outline on another sheet of paper and mark dots around it. Once this is done it is simply a matter of adding your letters or numbers. It is a great way for kids to practice writing and in a class environment, they can swap their puzzles with other students and then complete them.
