Letter D Preschool Pack

This pack focuses on the fourth letter of the alphabet, the letter D. Every activity targets early literacy skills development through phonics, uppercase and lowercase discrimination and expanding a child’s vocabulary with words that begin with the letter D.

Letter D Activities Pack

The pack includes uppercase and lowercase letter D activities for little ones as young as 3 years old. However, there isn’t an age limit, and these even worked well for my daughter when she was 5 years old.

We like to practice by saying the words or even by singing a little song like ‘D is for dog, deer and dinosaur’, this is just something the kids can make up and be silly about.

This pack has so many resources. My favorite are the Letter D posters and flashcards that have cartoon pictures AND real life pictures. Display them on a classroom wall or on the fridge so the kids can easily see and refer back to them.

There’s also clip cards and letter-sorting activities that build critical thinking and problem-solving skills and are more challenging for the kids.

The play dough mats and crafts are a great option for more hands-on activities that work on fine motor and letter tracing skills.

These alphabet printables are great for literacy centers, morning work, homeschools or a homework packet.
