Letter W Worksheet: Tracing, Coloring, and Word Recognition!

How to use this worksheet

First, have your child trace the letter W along the dotted lines, noticing the up-down-up-down zigzag motion. Next, look at the pictures together, say each one's name aloud, and have your child color the pictures that begin with the letter W. Finally, have them trace and then independently write the letter W on the practice lines, saying the /w/ sound each time.
