Letter K worksheets and activities
Explore K and k through looking, playful marks and a short shared game. Capital K has a tall stem and two sloping arms meeting partway down it. Lowercase k also has a tall stem, with smaller arms in this font. Find the meeting point and talk about how the two arms point in different directions. Choose one part of the pack rather than expecting every page to be completed in one sitting.

Letter names and first sounds
A letter name is different from its sound in a word. Tap each separately. The examples show one common sound; letters can have other sounds.
Synthesised British or American pronunciation, selected by the English edition in the header. Accents vary. Follow your school’s sound models and teaching sequence.

What we’re exploring
Recognize capital K and lowercase k, compare their shapes and find them among other printed letters.
A little way to play
- Start with the large K and k 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 color a match.
- Arrange three strips of paper into K. Move the two short arms while keeping the tall stem still, then return them to the model. Draw a kite beside the letter and add a lowercase k label.
Make it easier
Cover most of the letter hunt and offer just two choices. Keep the K / k model visible, and let an adult make the marks while your child points.
Try a little moreCompare K with X: K keeps a long straight stem, while X uses two crossing diagonals. Compare k and h by looking at the sloping arms and the rounded shoulder. Present just one contrast initially.
For the grown-up
Key, kite and king are example words. Draw or photograph a key rather than giving small keys to a child who mouths objects. A storybook king can provide a familiar context for finding the letter in a written label. These are original recognition resources, not a school phonics programme or a developmental test.
Answers & naming help
The matching forms are K and k. The hunt has six target cells; their numbers are listed on the adult activity page. The example words key, kite, king begin with k. 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; color-name cards still need their color to teach the word. Cut-and-stack mini-books are available in the flashcard maker.
