Trace and Write the Letter E Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet has children ages 3-5 trace the uppercase letter E, a shape built from three horizontal lines meeting one vertical line, requiring careful spacing to keep the three horizontal strokes evenly placed. Because E shares its vertical-plus-horizontal structure with letters like F and L, practicing it builds a stroke pattern children will reuse often. The page also reinforces the short /e/ sound heard in words like 'egg,' 'elephant,' and 'elbow.'

How to use this worksheet
Point to the dotted letter E and show your child the vertical line first, then the three horizontal lines branching off it at the top, middle, and bottom. Have them trace several guided Es, paying attention to keeping the horizontal lines roughly the same length. Once they've traced the guided letters, let them try writing E independently on the blank lines, then color any pictures on the page while naming the objects together.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Crayons

- 2Practice writing E in a tray of sand or rice, counting out loud '1, 2, 3' for each horizontal line.
- 3Use craft sticks or straws to build the letter E on a table, one line at a time.
- 4Look through a picture book together and count how many times the letter E appears on one page.
