How to Teach the Letter E to Preschoolers?

Introducing the letter E to your preschoolers doesn’t have to be a challenge.

Here are some helpful tips you can consider using to make the process enjoyable and effective:

Start with Phonics – Emphasize the sound of the letter E to your preschoolers. You can do this by demonstrating its short sound, as in egg. And it’s long sound as in eagle. You can also use the worksheets below to showcase the letter E to your kiddos. Alternatively, you can use flashcards with pictures of items beginning with E, like elephant, envelope, and ear.

Use Visual Aids – Display a large, colorful letter E in your teaching area. You can write the letter E on a whiteboard or a big piece of paper. Or, perhaps create a poster with pictures of objects starting with the letter E.

Engage in Repetition – Preschoolers love music! So why not make learning the letter E fun by singing songs or rhymes that emphasize the letter E? Read stories aloud with a focus on the letter E, such as E is for Earth, or I See E.

Incorporate Movement – Have your preschoolers form the shape of the letter E with their bodies. Or Play games where they jump or clap when they hear a word starting with E – (Similar to Simon Says.)

How to Teach Preschoolers to Write the Letter E?

Learning to write is a significant milestone in early literacy. Here’s how you can guide your preschooler through the process of writing the letter E:

Model the Formation – Demonstrate how to write uppercase and lowercase E on a chalkboard or whiteboard. Break it down into simple steps. For example, you can show how to write an uppercase E – we start with a vertical line, then add three horizontal lines at the top, middle, and bottom. And, for the lowercase e – we start with a horizontal line and loop around to form a circle.

Provide Hands-On Practice – For kinesthetic learners, you can consider tactile materials like sand, salt trays, or shaving cream for kids to trace the letter E with their fingers. Additionally, you can introduce manipulatives like pipe cleaners or Play-Doh to shape the letter E.

Encourage Repetition – Take advantage of the free set of tracing worksheets included in the free resource I gifted you below and have your kids practice tracing and writing the letter E. Both uppercase and lowercase.
