I’m so happy to share my Uppercase Alphabet Formation Rhymes with you! These were very fun to write and create printables for. I’ve heard from so many of you that the number formation rhymes were very useful, and I thought that alphabet rhymes would be, too!

I LOVE these little rhymes. They make teaching handwriting so much fun! My little guys really enjoy these rhymes, too! Not only are you teaching how to write the uppercase letter, you’re teaching rhyming words!

Why Use Alphabet Formation Rhymes?

Learning how to write letters takes lots of practice, and some children need a little extra help remembering where to start and which way to go. These rhymes give children a simple, and memorable way to learn the movements that make each uppercase letter.

Rhymes work especially well with young learners because they’re catchy, repetitive, and easy to remember. Saying the rhyme while tracing or writing a letter also gives children something to connect with the movement of their pencil. Over time, you may even hear them repeating the rhyme on their own as they write! It’s so cute!

I also love that this makes letter formation practice feel a little more fun. Children are practicing important fine-motor skills when they’re working on letter formation too, so adding in the rhymes and language make it a pretty comprehensive lesson. It’s a simple tool, but it can make those repeated handwriting exercises much more engaging for kids!

10 Ways to Use Alphabet Rhyme Printables

These printables are great to use as posters in a classroom or homeschool room. I recommend printing them on card stock paper and then laminating them. Here is my favorite laminator! (affiliate link)

You can also place them in plastic sheet protectors and place them in a 3-ring binder. Then you can have your little learner trace the letters with his/her finger or even use a dry erase marker to practice writing them!

I had my preschooler use his finger to practice tracing the letters first.

My kindergartener used a dry erase marker to trace the letters. I love using dry erase makers because you can use the printables over and over again!

Here are a few more ways you can use these alphabet formation rhyme printables:

1. Dot Marker Letters –  Use dot markers to stamp along the letter from beginning to end. Kids love dot markers and they’re a fun way to change it up!
2. Playdough Letters –  Roll playdough into “snakes” and shape them over the letter. This works well if the printables are laminated or in sheet protectors if you want to re-use them.
3. Loose Parts Letters – Fill the letter with buttons, beads, gems, small blocks, or other loose parts you already have.
4. Drive the Letter – Drive a small toy car along the letter, following the same direction used when writing it.
5. Sensory Writing Tray –  After practicing the rhyme on the page, write the letter in a tray of sand, salt, or rice while repeating it. Here’s how we set up our sensory writing tray with 5 simple items.
6. Paint the Letter –  Use a small paintbrush to trace over the letter with washable paint.
7. Rainbow Trace –  Trace the letter several times with different colored crayons, markers, or dry erase repeating the rhyme with each new color.
8. Translucent Chips – Place colorful counting chips along the letter. This could be especially fun on a light table!
9. Punch the Letter – Place the printable on a piece of cardboard or foam and use a push pin to carefully poke holes along the letter, following the letter path.
