1. Uppercase and Lowercase Letter S Tracing Worksheet
The first Letter S tracing worksheet introduces uppercase S and lowercase s with a seahorse picture.

This activity helps children become familiar with Letter S formation while developing pencil control and pre-writing skills.
2. Letter S Coloring, Tracing, and Recognition Worksheet
This activity combines several Letter S exercises on one printable page. Preschoolers can color the uppercase and lowercase letters, trace dotted Letter S shapes, find the letter S among other letters, and follow the lines from one S to another. The shark picture also introduces a familiar word that begins with the /s/ sound.
3. Find the Missing Letter S Worksheet
Children choose the missing letter needed to complete simple words such as snail, star, and mouse. This worksheet encourages children to notice where the letter S appears in a word while practicing visual discrimination, vocabulary, and early phonics skills.

Skills Practiced with These Letter S Printables
These free Letter S worksheets support several important preschool learning skills. Children practice recognizing uppercase and lowercase S, forming the letter correctly, identifying the /s/ sound, matching words with pictures, following visual instructions, and controlling pencils and child-safe scissors.
Because the activities use tracing, coloring, searching, and cutting, children receive different types of practice rather than completing the same exercise repeatedly.
