Alphabet order — fill in the missing letters

Knowing the alphabet in order is more than a song: children need it to use a dictionary, a glossary or a class list, and it strengthens the link between letter names and shapes. These sheets show short runs of the alphabet with gaps to fill — one gap, then two, in capital and then small letters — and finally the whole alphabet with only a few letters given. The Spanish version includes Ñ, and the Arabic version follows the order ا ب ت ث… taught at school.

🔤 Best for ages 5–8

How to get the most from these sheets

• Sing or say the alphabet together before starting.
• For a gap, say the letters before it aloud: the missing one usually comes by itself.
• Keep an alphabet strip on the table for the first sheets, then hide it.
• For the whole-alphabet level, write in pencil and check with the key.
