Teaching your Child the Alphabet by Using Coloring Pages

by TheNanny612 on September 15, 2007

When I began teaching my children the Alphabet as Toddlers I found that using Alphabet Coloring Pages was one of the most effective way to teach the Letters of the Alphabet to my children. I already knew that they loved to color, so why not teach them the letters in a way that I know will hold their focus more than 2 minutes. So, I started printing off alphabet coloring pages from the internet and I was off to start teaching my children the alphabet.

My young Preschoolers-To-Be had no idea that they were going to begin a Lesson. For all they knew they were going to have fun coloring…. and they were right.

 

While my kids were coloring I would talk to them about the letters they were coloring. Here are a few examples of some things I would talk about with my children while they were coloring:

  • The Letter "S" sounds like ssssss…..?
  • What food begins with the letter "A"?
  • Can you point to an object in the living room that starts with the Letter you are coloring?

Those are just a few examples…. I am sure you can probably come up with a few more yourself.

Here are some of my kids’ favorite Alphabet Coloring Pages when they were learning the Alphabet:

  • Learning Planet.com - Nice Collection of Printable Alphabet Coloring Pages
  • Sesame Workshop - My Children absolutely loved these Alphabet Coloring Pages. The coloring pages have their favorite Sesame Street Characters.
  • Coloring Castle.com - Simple bubble letter alphabet coloring pages. They have quite a few choices of different alphabet bubble letters.
  • Preschool Coloring Book - Excellent Alphabet Coloring Pages. Preschool Coloring Book has so many choices of alphabet coloring pages to choose from. They have Plain Letters, Block Letters, Letters with Animals, Fruit & Vegetable Letters
  • Jazzles.com - Very cute collection of alphabet coloring pages.
  • Alphabet Soup - An Excellent collection of alphabet coloring pages.
  • Animated Animals Coloring Book - Florida’s Animated Alphabet is designed to introduce young children to Florida’s wide variety of native wildlife and the interesting natural history and behavior of its wild creatures.
  • Halloween Alphabet Coloring Pages - Since Halloween is next month I had to add this amazing collection of Alphabet Halloween Pages.
