Catholic Letter of the Week Worksheets and Coloring Pages for Letters A – E

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

---

I’m really excited today to be able to share with you the first part of a project that I have been thinking about working on for years. Seriously – it’s kind of ridiculous how long I have put this off, all because I got too caught up in how to do it and made myself feel paralyzed and like I couldn’t even start it.

So, what is this big project? A Catholic Letter of the Week Worksheet and Coloring Page set for preschool and kindergarten (and some first graders).

Although it was designed for Catholic kids, there are actually many other Christian denominations that this may be perfect 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. Plus, I have included many pages that are Christian without specifically being Catholic, as well as secular pages.

I really love how it is coming together now that I finally made myself start, and I hope you will love it too.

Catholic Letter of the Week Worksheets and Coloring Pages for Preschool, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade

Because the packet for each letter is currently 35 pages long, I have them broken up into individual packets as well as bundled into five letters per bundle. This way, you can grab just the individual letters you want or you can grab a bundle.

I currently have A, B, C, D, and E packets available individually, as well as in one bundle together. By mid-September, I will have all of the packets available individually and in bundles. I will update this post each time I add new packets.

Each packet provides parents and teachers with a variety of worksheets, coloring pages, 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, then you may find that there are some pages in some of the packets that you won’t want to use. For example, in the C packet, Saint Cecilia is included even though her name begins with a soft C sound.

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.

What ages are the Catholic Letter of the Week Packets best for?

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 not every page would quite as perfect for them.

Do I Really Have to Finish One Packet Per 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. However, you might be able to get through it all in one week.

Conversely, you can just pick and choose what to do in each packet and make sure you get done in one week.

I Don’t Want to Read The Post. Just Take Me to the Packets!

Fair enough. You can read more about the packets in the shop, actually, if you want.

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

What is included in each Catholic Letter of the Week Packet?

While each packet has some variation, 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.
