Add these fun Apple Find the Letter Worksheets to your alphabet centers for practice with letter recognition and letter formation this fall. Plus, they are great for fine motor skills in preschool and kindergarten.
Apple Tree Find the Letter Sheets
This letter sounds activity is the perfect way for kids to work on alphabet skills this fall. Add it to your back-to-school plans for fun, hands-on practice.
There is a worksheet for each letter of the alphabet. Each one has the uppercase and lowercase letters on the tree to trace. Students will then search around the sheet and find all the apples with the letter on it.
For example, the letter “Aa” sheet has “Aa” in tracing letters right in the center of the sheet. After tracing the letters, students look through all of the apples to find the ones that have an “A” or “a” on it. There are 5 apples with the lowercase letter and 5 apples with the uppercase letter.
This activity is a simple way to help students practice their letter recognition skills while learning letter formation.
Add this alphabet activity to your fall literacy centers, morning work or early finisher activities.
Quick, Low Prep Fall Alphabet Activity
This is super simple to utilize because all you need to do is print the sheets and they are ready for use!
Students only need crayons or markers to color the apples and trace the letters.
If you want to use the sheets over and over again, you can slip them into write and wipe sheets and students can use dry-erase markers on them.
If you have students who don’t like coloring, they can use snap cubes, mini erasers or counters to cover the apples.

Next, they will find all instances of the corresponding letters on the sheet and color each one. If you are using manipulatives, they will cover each one.
