Trace and Write the Letter U Worksheet for Preschoolers

This worksheet isolates the uppercase U — a smooth curve that dips down and comes back up — giving children focused repetition on one letter form before they meet the nearly identical but smaller lowercase u elsewhere. Practicing this curve independently at ages 3-5 continues building the smooth-stroke control introduced by earlier curved letters like C and O.

How to use this worksheet

Trace the dotted lines to form the letter U in one smooth, continuous motion, starting at the top, dipping down, and coming back up. Once your child is comfortable tracing, have them practice writing the letter U on their own on the provided lines. Talk about U words together, like umbrella or up, as they work. Let them color any pictures on the page once they finish, and try tracing U in sand or playdough for extra practice.

  • Crayons
