Letters U – Z – Catholic Letter of the Week Worksheets and Coloring Pages

Catholic Letter of the Week Worksheets and Coloring Pages for Letters U, V, W, X, Y, and Z for Preschool – 1st Grade Post Preview: Encourage learning about letters and letter sounds for U, V, W, X, Y, and Z as well as our shared faith with these printable packets.

---

Oof! I can’t believe that I have finally finished up making all of the Catholic Letter of the Week packets. It’s funny to me now that I thought it was going to be a much quicker project. Who knew that making 26 packets that were each 35 pages long would be a lot of work, right? (face palm)

But, I’m really excited because these last six packets have finished off the alphabet! 

I previously shared the following packets:

• Catholic Letter of the Week A – E Packets
• Catholic Letter of the Week F – J Packets
• Packets for Letters K – O
• Packets for P – T
• And the most economical way to get them all – an A – Z Catholic Letter of the Week Bundle. (The bundle is 50% off the price of buying them each individually. It’s also a 30% savings off the price of buying all five of the specially-priced smaller bundles.)

So, here they are – the last six packets for my Catholic Letter of the Week Worksheet and Coloring Page set for preschool and kindergarten (and some first graders)! Here are the packets for U, V, W, X, Y, and Z.

As I’ve already mentioned, although these packets were designed for Catholic students, there are actually many other Christian denominations that they may be wonderful for. I spent most of my life in the Episcopal Church and this is pretty close to a perfect fit there too. There may be some pages that don’t work as well, but mostly yes.

This is great for most denominations that recognize saints and have similar services/parts of the church as Catholics. I have descriptions of what is in each packet, so you’ll be able to check to be sure. You can also email me with specific questions.

Plus, I have included many pages that are Christian without specifically being Catholic, as well as secular pages.

Catholic Letter of the Week Worksheets and Coloring Pages for Letters U, V, W, X, Y, and Z

Since the packet for each letter in this set is 35 pages long, I have them broken up into individual packets as well as bundled into this six letter bundle. This way, you can grab just the individual letters you want or you can grab a bundle.

As I mentioned, I also have an option to buy the entire set – an A – Z Catholic Letter of the Week Bundle.

Each packet provides parents and teachers with a variety of coloring pages, worksheets, and activities to work on:

•  Correct letter formation
• Identifying letters
• Understanding and recognizing initial letter sounds, including when letters make more than one beginning sound (such as both the hard and soft C sounds or hard and soft J sounds, for example)
• Learning more about our shared faith

Note: If it is important to you that the items included for a letter only make one particular sound and don’t include any blends, then you may find that there are some pages in some of the packets that you won’t want to use.

I wanted to put an emphasis on the faith aspect, so I didn’t want to be tied to just one letter sound. Also, I always introduced multiple sounds that a letter could make early on with readers (both at home and when I taught in the classroom), using a mix of phonics and whole language, so it felt more natural to me to set it up like that. But, I wanted to be sure to mention it.

Grade Levels for the Catholic Letter of the Week Packets

These Catholic Letter of the Week packets are perfect for preschool and kindergarten students. These would also work well for many first grade students. Some of the pages will also work well for second grade students, though some pages in the packet will likely be far too easy for them.

Should We Finish One Packet Every Week?

Since each packet has 35 pages of worksheets, coloring pages, and activities, you can opt to spend longer than a week on each of the Catholic Letter of the Week Packets.

If you complete one packet every week and a half, you should be able to make the 26 packets last for a whole 36 week school year. (That’s a 180 school year.)

Conversely, you can just pick and choose what to do in each packet and make sure you get done in one week. It’s flexible and all about what works best for you and your children or students.

Honestly, I don’t blame you. You can read more about the packets in the shop if you prefer.

You can just click through here to go right to the area of the Real Life at Home shop that has the Catholic Letter of the Week Packets. You’ll be able to see all of the current Catholic Letter of the Week individual packets and bundles.

Contents of Catholic Letter of the Week Packets

The packets pretty much have the same style of content in each packet, but it just changes up for each letter. I found that while I was teaching in the classroom (and later at home with my own children), my students were most comfortable when they knew what to expect in an activity. This will give your children or students a greater comfort level while working through all of the packets.

Each packet in this bundle includes The following pages

I will give more details about each page in the individual letters sections.

★ A Terms of Use Page

★ Five Handwriting Practice Pages
