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

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.
