Free Printable Worksheets for Kindergarten

Kindergarten worksheets are a wonderful learning tool for educators and students to use. This is why we have and will continue to create hundreds of free kindergarten worksheets that are designed to fit into a standard kindergarten curriculum . The main focus of our kindergarten website is to provide free educational resources. In these difficult economic times, we believe kindergarten teachers and parents can benefit greatly from our printable kindergarten worksheets.

What Free Kindergarten Worksheets Would You Like to See?

We have conducted extensive research on the types of kindergarten worksheets teachers and parents use the most. It is not a perfect science and we know we can always be doing a better job to serve you. If you have suggestions on what kind of kindergarten worksheets we should create or what categories we should expand on, we would love to hear from you. Is there a kindergarten worksheet that you just love and would like to see more of? Please let us know using our contact webpage, via email, on Facebook, or through Twitter. Thank you for your time in advance!

The First Kindergarten Website to Utilize Modern Web Technology

Our entire collection of kindergarten worksheets have been made into a free web app powered by HTML5. HTML5 does not require the Flash plug-in that most educational websites use to provide interactive content. This means that our kindergarten worksheets will work almost anywhere. Kindergartners can now complete the educational worksheets on the iPad and other forward-thinking devices. The free kindergarten web app we have developed makes use of the iPad's multi-touch feature. Kids can use their fingers to draw, write, and solve problems directly on the free kindergarten worksheets. Teachers and parents can then print the completed kindergarten worksheet. Our free online kindergarten app also works on desktop and laptop computers running modern web browsers like Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer 9+.

The Importance of a Good Early Childhood Education

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Education, having the firm foundation of early childhood education will ensure children's success in life. It is also imperative that students develop critical thinking and problem solving skills during their first year in school as well as establish an appreciation of who they are in a social society. Teachers are able to implement these worksheets in a variety of early childhood lesson plans. Even though our "kindergarten worksheets" are designed for kindergarten students, they are also useful for children that are in preschool or first grade. These diverse kindergarten worksheets will create a fun learning environment that ultimately assist in cultivating valuable critical thinking, cultural, and linguistic skills.

Kindergarten Worksheets to Print, Download, and Use Online

Our fun kindergarten worksheets are broken down into four main areas. They are math, English, general learning, and holiday worksheets. These categories are then divided into different subjects so that parents and teachers can easily find the free printable kindergarten worksheets they are looking for. The kindergarten math worksheets section includes addition, subtraction, counting, fractions, place value, graphs, measurements, pattern words, and numbers. The Kindergarten English worksheets section offers reading, alphabet, writing, phonics, vocabulary, sight words, opposites, rhyming words, and spelling. The general learning section provides science, Spanish, social studies, dinosaurs, health, zoo, foreign languages, butterflies, and kindergarten coloring activities. The last section is our kindergarten holiday worksheets. This includes Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Halloween. We also offer summer, winter, spring, and fall printable worksheets. All of the kindergarten worksheets on our website can be printed out, downloaded for later use, or used directly online. Anyway you choose to use our free kindergarten worksheets, we hope they help enhance the students' appreciation for education.

6 Easy Steps to Teach Letter Sounds

The journey of teaching sounds of letters begins with introducing the alphabet . This foundational step is crucial as it helps children recognize and differentiate between the shapes and names of each letter.

When to Start: It’s ideal to start this step when children show interest in books and singing, typically around 2 to 3 years old. 

How to Teach:

• Online Alphabet Games: Integrate technology into learning by using online letter games. These interactive ela games include animations and sounds that make learning engaging and fun, helping children visualize and remember the letters more effectively.

Begin here:

• Sing the Alphabet Song

Make learning playful and musical. Singing the alphabet song regularly helps children memorize the order of the letters and build their familiarity with their shapes and sounds.

• Read Alphabet Books: Incorporate books with large, colorful letters and images that start with each letter. Point to and name the letters as you read, encouraging the child to repeat after you.
• Show Alphabet Cards: Use alphabet cards for a more interactive experience. Hold up each card, point to the letter, and say its name clearly. Ask the child to try saying the letter names with you.

Key Milestones:

• Recognition of all the alphabet letters visually.
• Ability to sing the alphabet song along with you.
• Beginning to point out and name letters in everyday settings, like on signs or in books.

Once children are familiar with the visual aspect of the alphabet, the next step is to learn letter sounds. This phase focuses on associating each letter with its most common phonetic sound, which is essential for building reading skills.

When to Start: Begin this step after children can confidently recognize and name the letters of the alphabet. This typically follows the mastery of the visual recognition of letters, usually around ages 3 to 4.

• Start with Easy-to-Pronounce Consonants: Choose consonants that have only one sound and are simpler to articulate, such as ‘m’, ‘s’, ‘f’, ‘p’, ‘t’. These sounds are distinct and less likely to be confused with others, making them ideal starting points.

Start teaching easy to pronounce consonants with these letter sound activities :

• Use Objects or Pictures: Incorporate everyday objects or pictures that start with these sounds. For example, show a picture of a monkey when teaching the sound ‘m’ or a snake for ‘s’. This visual association helps solidify the connection between the letter and its sound.
• Ability to correctly make the sound of each letter when shown.
• Recognition of objects or pictures that start with specific letter sounds.
• Beginning to understand how to teach the alphabet sounds through practical, engaging methods.

After mastering the basic consonant sounds, the next essential step in teaching alphabet sounds involves introducing the short sounds of the vowels. These are pivotal in forming syllables and simple words, which are fundamental for reading.

When to Start: This step should follow once children are comfortable with consonant sounds, typically around the age of 4 to 5 years.

• Teach Each Vowel with Simple Words: Start with easy, short vowel words such as ‘at’ for ‘a’, ‘pet’ for ‘e’, ‘sit’ for ‘i’, ‘pot’ for ‘o’, and ‘cut’ for ‘u’. This helps children grasp the sound each vowel makes in a word.

Begin with these short vowel sound activities :

• Engage in Phonemic Activities : Conduct activities where children find objects around them that start with each vowel sound. This practical application reinforces their understanding and helps solidify their grasp of each sound.
• Recognition and correct pronunciation of each short vowel sound.
• Ability to identify and articulate simple words associated with each vowel.
• Active participation in games and activities that reinforce their knowledge of vowels.

Blends and digraphs are combinations of two or more letters that produce a single sound. Mastering these is crucial for advancing reading skills, especially in how to teach letter sounds to kindergarten students.

When to Start: This step is appropriate once children are comfortable with individual letter sounds, typically in kindergarten or first grade.

• Introduce Each Blend or Digraph with Examples: Start with simple blends like ‘bl’, ‘st’, ‘br’ and digraphs like ‘ch’, ‘sh’, ‘th’. Explain that these letters together make a unique sound. Use words like “blow”, “stop”, “brush” for blends and “chop”, “ship”, “bath” for digraphs.

Begin with activities:

• Use Blending Games: Engage children in blending games where they combine initial blends with vowels to form words. For example, matching ‘bl’ with ‘ock’ to make ‘block’ or ‘st’ with ‘ar’ to form ‘star’. These activities help reinforce the sounds and improve blending skills.

Start with these blending activities :

• Ability to recognize and pronounce common blends and digraphs.
• Successful combination of blends and vowels to form simple words.
• Increased fluency in reading words with blends and digraphs.

Long vowels and complex phonetic patterns are essential for reading proficiency and are a key focus when you teach letter sounds to beginners. These elements introduce variety and complexity into a child’s phonetic repertoire.

When to Start: Begin this step after children have a solid understanding of short vowels, blends, and digraphs, typically in late kindergarten or early first grade.

• Teach Long Vowels Through Silent ‘e’ and Vowel Pairs: Explain that an ‘e’ at the end of words like ‘make’ or ‘ride’ changes the vowel sound to a long sound. 
• Similarly, teach vowel pairs like ‘ea’ in ‘seat’ and ‘oa’ in ‘boat’ that also make long vowel sounds.

Here are fun activities to teach vowel teams :

• Introduce Complex Sounds Gradually: Start with simpler vowel digraphs and move to more complex phonetic patterns like r-controlled vowels (‘car’, ‘bird’). Use plenty of examples and visual aids to help children grasp these concepts.

Begin with these activities:

• Recognition and correct pronunciation of long vowel sounds and complex phonetic patterns.
• Ability to read and understand words with long vowels and complex sounds.
• Improved ability to decode unfamiliar words using phonetic skills.

Encouraging independent reading is a pivotal step in reinforcing how to teach letter sounds, transforming theoretical knowledge into practical application and enjoyment.

Preparing Your Child for Kindergarten: 6 Important Skills to Foster

• May 13, 2024

As someone who has had the privilege of being a kindergarten teacher, I vividly recall the excitement and anticipation of children stepping foot into my classroom on their very first day of school. While many of my students were ready to embark on their educational journey, not all of them were fully prepared. If only they had been equipped with the following essential skills, they could have been ready from day one.

1. Recognizing their name when spoken and written

Your child’s ability to identify their name when it is spoken or written is crucial for fostering social interactions with teachers and classmates. Imagine the confidence they’ll gain when a teacher mentions their full name for attendance or asks a question, and your young learner instantly recognizes it.

It’s equally important for your child to be able to identify their name when it’s written on cubbies, desks, and classroom items. If your child has primarily gone by a nickname, let them know that teachers at school will call them by their full name. You may also want to tell the teacher about any alternate names that your child may want to be known by.

2. Counting from 0 to 10 and understanding numbers as quantities

A solid foundation in counting and number comprehension sets the stage for mathematical concepts in kindergarten. Your child should understand the idea of one-to-one correspondence and number cardinality , which means understanding that the last number counted represents the total amount of objects in a group. To develop these skills, encourage your child to touch and count each object individually when you practice counting together. Then, ask them to tell you the last number they counted and write it down.

3. Familiarity with the alphabet and basic letter-sound recognition

Although your child may enter school still learning all 26 letters of the alphabet and their corresponding sounds, it is during kindergarten that they will begin sounding out simple words and recognizing sight words. Helping them have a solid grasp of the alphabet will significantly enhance their progress as they gain new skills. Check out this helpful video on ways to support their learning journey.

4. Proper pencil grip and usage

While there isn’t a strict rule about how to hold a pencil, it’s essential that your child has moved beyond gripping it with their entire fist before they enter kindergarten. If your child is still exploring which hand they write with, or struggling with fine motor skills, consider using a smaller pencil that fits their hands. A small pencil used for keeping score in a board game or mini golf can be great for practice.

5. Identifying and expressing emotions

When children develop social-emotional (or mindset) skills , it lays the groundwork for healthy relationships and overall well-being in life by combining self-awareness, social skills, and executive functioning. These skills enable effective communication, the sharing of emotions, as well as fostering empathy and understanding in interactions with others. With strong social-emotional skills, children navigate challenges and conflicts constructively, building resilience and self-confidence.

Through reflection, children will develop self-awareness, improving their understanding of emotions and behaviors. Children that sharpen their critical thinking abilities will grow into adults who make informed decisions that positively contribute to their communities.

6. Embracing play

Play encourages exploration, curiosity, and the ability to take risks, all of which are essential for lifelong learning. Providing opportunities for play nurtures your child’s natural curiosity and fosters their love for discovery and learning.

Why is play so fundamental for young learners? During play and exploration, multiple skills are developed. Through activities like pretend play, children learn to understand and express emotions, develop social skills, and solve problems creatively. For instance, when children engage in imaginative play with building blocks, they not only grow their problem-solving skills but also learn cooperation and communication as they work together with others to create structures.

These six skills are fundamental for your child’s academic and social growth. You can get help with this from at-home early education programs like Waterford Upstart that offer valuable guidance without requiring too much time from your busy day. Your child can do a short online lesson, and the rest of their skills can develop in daily life. For instance, after learning a new letter, you can play a game where your young learner tries to spot things that begin with that letter.

Helping your child build a strong academic foundation takes consistency and collaboration. Sometimes you may feel alone in this, but let me assure you that your child’s teachers will work just as tirelessly every day to help your child learn and succeed in school.
