🖍️ Letter J Trace and Color Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to help your child develop essential pre-writing and letter recognition skills for the letter J.

By focusing on the word “January,” it also subtly introduces a seasonal concept (winter/snow) and a common calendar word.

If it is not a winter season, there is a second page with a cute Jellyfish to introduce J letter.

Key Learning Goals:

• Fine Motor Skills: Practicing the controlled movements needed for tracing.
• Letter Recognition: Identifying the uppercase and lowercase forms of ‘J’.
• Phonics: Associating the letter ‘J’ with the /j/ sound (as in “January”).

Instructions

1. Color the Big Letter J: Use your favorite crayon, marker, or colored pencil to color the large uppercase letter J at the top of the page. Make it bright!
2. Trace the Uppercase J: Look at the first tracing row. Carefully trace over the dotted lines of the big J’s (uppercase J’s). Go slowly and try to stay on the line!
3. Trace the Lowercase j: Now, look at the second tracing row. Carefully trace over the dotted lines of the little j’s (lowercase j’s). Remember the little dot on top!
4. Color the Picture: Look at the picture at the bottom. It shows a snowman and a calendar that says “JAN” (for January). Color the snowman, the calendar, and the word “January.”
