Connect the Zs

Worksheet Description

This worksheet contains a central image of a zebra, surrounded by a square border with various letters around it. The letters include both uppercase and lowercase forms, but not all of them are the letter ‘Z’. The instruction at the top prompts students to draw lines connecting each uppercase ‘Z’ and lowercase ‘z’ to the picture of the zebra in the center. One example is already completed, demonstrating how to connect the uppercase ‘Z’ with the zebra.

The goal of this worksheet is to help students recognize and differentiate between the uppercase and lowercase ‘Z’. By connecting the letters to the zebra, an image that starts with the same letter sound, it reinforces the connection between the letter and its phonetic sound. This activity also sharpens the students’ letter identification skills, as they must discern the correct ‘Z’ and ‘z’ from other letters. Additionally, it involves hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills as they draw the connecting lines.
