About this set
What you are getting
Most alphabet pages ask a four-year-old to color an apple. These ask a little more of the pictures and a little more of the page. Each of the twenty-six sheets is built the same way: the capital and the small letter big at the top with numbered arrows that show where the pencil starts and which way it goes, a dotted row to trace on a real primary rule (top line, dashed middle, baseline), the word to trace once, and a large object to color. A is for Ark, D is for Dove, L is for Lamp, V is for Vine, Y is for Yoke. Where a verse of fifteen words or fewer in the Berean Standard Bible mentions the word, that verse sits on the page exactly as written; where none does, there is a short line of our own. Four more sheets round out the set: a cut-and-paste beginning-sound sort, an alphabet maze that is walked from A to Z, a desk strip to color and tape together, and a rhyming-pairs match. Print one letter a day, or the whole set for a quiet week. Sit beside your child for the first few, say the letter name and its sound, and let the pencil do the rest. Everything is large, plain and uncluttered, made for ages 4 to 6, and every sheet is free to print for your own family.

How we made these
Made by a homeschool family
We drew every picture ourselves as a bold outline with closed shapes, so it colors cleanly, and we chose objects the Bible names: an ark, a lamp, a crown, a harp, a yoke. The letters follow the same stroke order as our Handwriting books, with the starting dots and numbered arrows checked by program for every letter. Each verse is copied from the Berean Standard Bible by program, never from memory, and the program refuses to build a page if a verse is missing, too long or changed. Every page is checked to fit, and anything a child reads is set at 24 points or larger.
Questions
Questions families ask
What age are these for?
They are made for ages 4 to 6, preschool through kindergarten. A four-year-old can color and trace the big letters; a six-year-old can also trace the word and read the line at the bottom.
Do I need to teach the letters in order?
No. The sheets stand alone, so you can start with the first letter of your child’s name, or with whatever letter turned up at breakfast. The desk strip and the maze are good once your child knows most of the alphabet.
Why does X say it is for Box?
Few Bible objects begin with X, and the sound x makes at the start of a word is rare. The page teaches where X is found, at the end of box, and the title marks it.
Which Bible translation are the verses from?
The Berean Standard Bible (BSB), quoted word for word, with the reference on the page. Where no short verse holds the word, the sheet has a line of our own, with no reference.
Can I print these for a co-op or a class?
Yes, for the children you teach. Please link to this page rather than posting the PDFs elsewhere, so everyone gets the latest copy.
How do I print them?
Use US Letter paper at 100 percent (Actual size), not Fit to page. The cut-and-paste sort has a page of pictures to cut out; print it on plain paper or card.
