Letter S Worksheets for Preschool: Trace, Find and Listen

Free letter S preschool worksheets: S is for sun, find every S, listen for /s/

Jump to the free printables

The letter S is a great one to practice: it hisses like a snake, so children love making its sound, and it starts words like sun, star and snowman. These free letter S worksheets for preschool give your child three short ways to learn it: trace it, find it and hear it.

What your child practices

  • Writing S and s with dotted letters that show the pencil path.
  • Recognizing S and s among other letters.
  • Hearing the /s/ sound at the start of words like sun, star and snowman.

The three free pages

  1. S is for Sun. Trace big S and small s, then color the sun.
  2. Find Every S. Color or circle each S and s in the letter grid, then count how many you found.
  3. Listen for /s/. Say each picture name and circle the letter it starts with.

Letter S activities to try at home

  • Snake shapes. Roll playdough snakes and bend them into an S.
  • Sock sort. Sort socks and say "s-s-socks".
  • S hunt. Look for the letter S on cereal boxes, books and signs.
  • Air writing. Draw a giant S in the air together before tracing on paper.

Tips

Keep it short. One page a day is plenty. Come back to the letter over the week.

Sounds first. Say /s/ (the sound), not just the letter name, so your child connects the letter to words.
