Letter E worksheets and activities
Explore E and e through looking, playful marks and a short shared game. Capital E has one upright and three horizontal bars. In this font, lowercase e has a small opening and a line across its middle. Compare the two forms directly; the capital is much more angular than the lowercase letter. Choose one part of the pack rather than expecting every page to be completed in one sitting.

What we’re exploring
Recognise capital E and lowercase e, compare their shapes and find them among other printed letters.
A little way to play
- Start with the large E and e models. Say the letter name and invite your child to point to either form.
- Use a finger on the pale tracing models, then offer a pencil if wanted. Follow the child's school formation guidance rather than treating these outlines as stroke instructions.
- Try the letter hunt together. Each cell has a number so a grown-up can check the separate answer guide; the child can point, circle or colour a match.
- Build E with four paper strips, then remove its bottom strip and notice the new letter. Put it back before drawing an e nearby. An adult can write a large model rather than asking for precise small movements.
Make it easier
Cover most of the letter hunt and offer just two choices. Keep the E / e model visible, and let an adult make the marks while your child points.
Try a little moreCompare E and F by looking at their lowest bars. For e and c, look for the extra line in e. Only introduce one comparison at a time so the distinguishing feature stays easy to notice.
For the grown-up
Egg, elephant and elbow are useful example words. Point to an elbow or look at an elephant photograph. When you write a label, leave space around its first letter so the child can find E or e without a crowded word hunt. These are original recognition resources, not a school phonics programme or a developmental test.
Answers & naming help
The matching forms are E and e. The hunt has six target cells; their numbers are listed on the adult activity page. The example words egg, elephant, elbow begin with e. Accept pointing or a description when the child is still learning the letter name.

How do I print this?
Choose your vocabulary and paper size, then download the PDF. Print at actual size or 100%. Use the low-ink option for outline activities; colour-name cards still need their colour to teach the word. Cut-and-stack mini-books are available in the flashcard maker.
