3 Free Letter A Coloring Pages – Easy Download!

Today I have some Letter A Coloring Pages!  When teaching the letter sounds, the short A sound is the first vowel sound you should teach.  When you teach it, make sure that your student knows the short a sound.  Once they understand the short a makes, they will understand the sounds of the rest of the vowels.  The vowels make words make magic.  Hat becomes hit, cat becomes cot.  Before we get our Beginning Sound Letter A Coloring Pages, first, here are some fun books to teach the beginning letter A sounds!

Free Letter A Coloring Pages for Preschool or Kindergarten

There are three letter a coloring pages.  There is one with just a capital letter a, there is a coloring page with just the lower case letter a and then there is a third one that has the upper case letter a on top of the lower case letter a letters.  As we detail in our how to teach the alphabet, we believe that the funny “fonts” of each letter of the alphabet should be explicitly taught to students.  These funny fonts (like the lower case letter a), confuses children.   We also explain in the how to teach the alphabet page that we believe you should visually show the students the upper case letter above the lower case letter.  The upper case letter is only used in specific situations.  The majority of letters people read are lower case.

 Edit profile

Madreen Karle is a master first grade reading teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience. She taught reading in a special needs and English as a Second Language classroom. After retiring she wrote a reading program to help others learn how to teach reading. She is a trusted educator and author of 5 books to help teach children to read and write. In addition to her books, she is a mentor for 3 websites that give reading teacher tips (Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading, Mrs. Karle’s Reading Patch, and Mrs. Karle’s Handwriting Patch). Through her teaching she learned that confidence was the key to learning to read. A child who is not confident at reading does not like to read and struggles to read. Mrs. Karle created “sunshine moments” to help teach children how to grow their confidence and learn to read.
Meeghan Karle Mousaw (Madreen’s daughter) has her Master’s in Special Education. She has 8 years experience teaching children to read online. In addition, she developed a curriculum to teach children handwriting called The Handwriting Patch. With the Handwriting Patch learning is fun because children learn to draw and learn handwriting at the same time. In 2019 The Handwriting Patch curriculum became an amazon best seller the first year it was released, helping thousands of kids learn handwriting with a unique, fun method. She is mom to 6 kids, each with differently learning abilities and struggles.
The Reading Patch was established by the creators of Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading. Together they have been featured on the NBC media outlets and Parents Magazine online. Over the last 8 years in their online platform, Madreen and Meeghan have worked tirelessly with teachers, homeschoolers and parents looking to help children learn to read to become a trusted authority in teaching children to read and advocating early literacy skills. They often partner with other educational experts to deliver the most current information to the Reading Patch community.

  3. Great sheets. I like that you can just get lowercase as well as in the UK we teach lowercase first phonetically. Thank you for linking to #featurefridays

    1. You are so welcome! We are very big into lowercase letters! Most letters you read are lower case and that is one thing we emphasize… make sure you are teaching those lower case letters. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

    1. Hi there,
      I think you were looking for some free resources on my site but were having some trouble. I updated my site and the free downloads disappeared. I fixed things now and I just entered your email so you should get the download.
      1) Check Spam – sometimes things go there.
      2) Subject is “Here is your free download” – there is a link inside. Sometimes that link is not hyperlinked…you may have to…
      3) copy/paste the hyperlink for the download. It should open or download into your download folder
      4) If you have trouble, write me at [email protected] (forward me the freebie email because I don’t know which freebie you wanted).

      Thanks! Have fun!
