If your child is working on the alphabet this fall, these Halloween letter tracing worksheets give them a reason to keep going. The set covers all 26 letters in uppercase and lowercase, plus one page that pairs letters with Halloween pictures and one with spooky words like bat, ghost and pumpkin.
Every page is a free PDF in US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4. They’re made for ages 4 to 6, so preschool, pre-K and kindergarten.

How Each Page Works
On the four alphabet pages, each letter gets its own box. The first one is solid, so kids can see what they’re aiming for. The next two are a single dashed line to trace, with a dot where each stroke starts. The empty space at the end is for them to write the letter on their own.
The picture page is for letter sounds. Kids trace a big Bb, Gg, Pp, Hh, Ss or Cc, then look at the bat, ghost, pumpkin, witch hat, spider or candy next to it and say the word. The last page moves up to whole words, with a line to write each one again.
Where to Start
Many teachers begin with uppercase because the shapes are simpler, so the A to M and N to Z pages are a good first stop. Lowercase comes next. If your child is just getting going, don’t do a whole page at once. Two or three letters is plenty, and you can pick the rest up tomorrow.
Kids often want to start with the letters in their own name. Let them. It keeps things personal, and they’ll be proud to spot those letters on the page.
Letters That Trip Kids Up
Backwards letters are normal at this age, especially b and d, p and q, S, J, N and Z. Don’t worry if you see them. Use the dashed letter as a guide, say the strokes out loud (“down, up and around”), and keep the practice short and happy. For b and d, the picture page helps: the bat’s B starts with a straight line, then a bump.
A quick note on style: these letters use a simple print style with a single-story a and g, like most early reader books. If your school teaches a specific handwriting program, such as Zaner-Bloser or D’Nealian, a few shapes may look a little different. Follow your teacher’s version when you practice.
Tips for Printing and Using Them
- Print at 100% (Actual size), not “Fit to page”, so the letters aren’t squeezed or cut off.
- Try sky writing first. Kids draw the letter in the air with a finger, then trace it on the page.
- Use a chunky crayon or a short pencil. Little hands hold them better.
- Slide a page into a clear sleeve and use a dry-erase marker to practice again and again.
- Black and white is all you need, and the thin titles and light dashes keep ink use low.
- Color the little pictures when the tracing is done.
