Letter E Tracing Worksheet for Preschoolers: Learn to Write!

How to use this worksheet

Have your child trace the large sample letter E first, then work through the dashed practice boxes one at a time, pausing to check that all three horizontal lines point the same direction. Say the /e/ sound together before and after each trace. Once the tracing rows are complete, move to the picture section and have your child color only the pictures that begin with E, naming each one out loud.
