Looking for a way to teach letter recognition to your young child?

These letter j worksheets will do that in a fun way!

The best way to teach younger children the letters of the English alphabet is to go over one letter at a time.

Note that the letters of the alphabet do not have to be taught in order.

In fact, if you ask a classroom teacher like myself, we teach the letters out of order.

Why?

Well some letters are easier to learn than others!

First, introduce the capital letter and lowercase letter j.
