These letter U worksheets for preschool are designed to make early literacy fun, hands-on, and developmentally appropriate. Whether you’re teaching in a classroom or homeschooling, these engaging activities help young learners recognize, trace, and write the letter U with confidence.
As a homeschooling mom of four, I’ve created dozens of printable packs to support hands-on, inclusive learning. I’ve found that clear, focused worksheets like these really help build early letter recognition and pre-writing skills without overwhelming young learners.
