Lowercase Alphabet Formation Rhymes
I’ve heard from so many of you that you want lowercase alphabet formation rhymes after loving our uppercase alphabet formation rhymes! Well today, I’m excited to share that they are DONE and ready to share with you! I spent a lot of time creating and writing these rhymes to help you teach your kids how to write lowercase letters. My kids love them and I hope yours will, too!
What Are Lowercase Alphabet Formation Rhymes
This set of printables explains how to write the lowercase letters with a fun little rhyme. These printables could be used as posters around a room, tracing with a finger, or tracing with a writing utensil.
5 Creative Ways to Use Alphabet Formation Rhymes
There are so many fun things you can do with these rhymes! I like to put them in plastic sheet protectors, then put them in a binder, and have my kids practice tracing them with a dry erase marker. That way we can use them over and over again!
Here are a few more fun ways to use them that your students will love:
- Make a Letter Rhyme Book – As children learn each letter, add it to their own alphabet book. They can practice the letter, decorate the page, and eventually have a complete book of all the letters and rhymes they’ve learned. (This is a personal favorite!)
- Play “Guess My Letter” – Read a rhyme without showing the letter and have children guess which letter it describes. Then reveal the letter and practice forming it together.
- Go on a Letter Hunt – Pick a letter and search for it around the classroom, house, in books, or even while out and about. When children find it, have them say the rhyme and trace the letter in the air.
- Add Movement to the Rhymes – Use big arm or whole-body movements to act out the directions in each rhyme. Children can move down, across, around, or back up as they say the words.
- Create a Letter Rhyme Wall – Display each letter and its rhyme as children learn them. Children can refer back to the wall during writing activities whenever they need a reminder about how to form a letter.

I don’t have access to a computer where I can download and print these off. Is there any way to order a hard copy of the lower case, upper case, and number formation rhymes and have them sent to my home?
I’m sorry, I don’t have a way to do this. 🙁
Hi! These are great! I was trying to find out how to download the number formation rhymes, but there was a box saying the signup form is no longer available.
I’m so sorry! It is now updated!!
I am very interested in the alphabet formation rhymes as I already have the number formation rhymes. I am curious though before purchasing how do you show to form several of the letters. I don’t want to confuse my children with something different from what they have already been taught. Specifically the K,k G, M, N, H, J. Thanks for sharing!
I understand! I use the same strokes as Handwriting Without Tears. You can see those here: http://www.hillsdaleschools.com/cms/lib03/NJ01000198/Centricity/Domain/133/alphabet.jpg
If you buy the printable and you find that you don’t like my method of teaching, email me and I’ll refund you. Thanks!
Perfect! Thank you SO MUCH! Exactly the way I was hoping.
I want to purchase but we are in New Zealand, and it looks like you can only purchase if you are in the states?
Hello! My products in my store are for US residents. However, you can buy them on my TpT store here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Teaching-Mama-Blog 🙂
Hiya have purchased both how do I access them plz?
Hi Jaki! I will send you an email. 🙂
These are great! I noticed that “d” doesn’t follow appropriate letter formation though. It’s supposed to start like you’re starting a “c” in order to reduce b/d confusion. We always say “a c turns into a d”.
Thank you for telling me!! I will be changing this to the correct way. Appreciate your advice!
I got that changed 🙂 Thanks!
These are SO wonderful! I can’t wait to try these out with my kids. The belly on the b is brilliant so the kids know what side to put it on.
These are so smart and helpful! I love how you put them in a binder so the kids could use them over and over.
I loved your number rhymes but this is even better. Definitely sharing!
