Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a personalized letter recognition exercise where students interact with the alphabet in relation to their own names. The worksheet lists the alphabet in both uppercase and lowercase and asks students to circle the letters that appear in their name. After writing their name on the provided line, students are then directed to sort the letters into two columns: “Letters in My Name” and “Letters Not in My Name.” This task combines the learning of the alphabet with personal relevance, making it an engaging activity for students.

The worksheet teaches letter recognition by encouraging students to identify which letters are used in their own names. This personal approach helps to increase the significance of the exercise, as students are more likely to remember letters that they associate with themselves. It also introduces the concept of sorting and categorization, which are important cognitive skills. Furthermore, this activity can enhance a child’s understanding of the alphabet’s application in writing their name, which is often one of the first words they learn to write.
