How to Teach Preschoolers The Letter C?

Teaching the letter C doesn’t have to be complicated.

Here are some tried-and-true methods to introduce the letter C to your preschoolers:

Start with the Sound – Explain that the letter C can make two sounds: the hard /k/ sound (as in cat) and the soft /s/ sound (as in cereal). In the beginning, I highly recommend that you only focus on the hard /k/ sound at first with your preschoolers. You can consider using objects such as my free printable worksheets (download below), flashcards, or toys that start with the hard C sound. For example, show a car, a cookie, or a cup and emphasize the /k/ sound.

Visual and Auditory Recognition – Show the uppercase and lowercase forms of C and practice saying their names and sounds. (Again you can use the worksheets Sing alphabet songs or rhymes that highlight the letter C. If you are a returning reader, you will know how much I love Jack Hartman’s videos for teaching kids the alphabet, 

Incorporate Stories – Read books with a focus on the letter C, like – Catch A Cactus With C.  C is for camping, or C is for cops. After reading to your kiddos, you can ask them to identify all the C words in the story.

Interactive Play – Use magnetic letters, foam letters, or blocks to make the letter C. Another fun activity is to guide your kids to trace the letter C in sand, shaving cream, or finger paint for a tactile experience.

How to Teach Preschoolers To Write the Letter C?

Here are some effective tips to consider when teaching your preschoolers how to write the letter C.

Demonstrate the Letter C – Show your preschoolers how to write an uppercase C first by emphasizing its curve. Once your child or students are comfortable, introduce the lowercase c, explaining it’s like a “smaller version” of the big C.

Use Tracing Worksheets – Here’s where those fun tracing letter C worksheets I gifted you will come into play. Encourage kids to follow the dotted lines with a crayon or pencil to trace the letter C.

Practice with Big Movements – Guide your preschoolers to practice making a large C in the air with their fingers. This helps them grasp the motion before using a pencil. You can also consider using sidewalk chalk outside or drawing on a chalkboard for added fun.

Repetition and Encouragement – Provide plenty of opportunities for repetition. Celebrate every small success to keep your little ones motivated.

Fun Preschool Letter C Activities

Here are some fun preschool letter C hands-on activities that I think both you and your kiddos would love:

Make Fruit Plates – You can cut up fruits such as strawberries, and/or grapes for your preschooler to make the letter C with.

Letter C Treasure Hunt – Hide objects around your home or classroom that start with the letter C (e.g., a cup, a clock, a crayon). Challenge your kids to find and identify them.

Sensory Bin Fun – Fill a bin with items that start with C. Such as cotton balls, coins, clips, cans, and/or toy cars. Allow your kids to explore and name each item.

Sing and Dance – Create a song about the letter C and its sound. Can’t come up with any? YouTube is your go-to place!

Create With Play-Doh – Use Play-Doh to form the letter C on the floor.
