Alphabet recognition is an important skill that we spend a lot of time teaching throughout the preschool and kindergarten years. Thankfully there are a lot of playful ways to teach the alphabet and practice letter recognition. This free printable letter naming fluency alphabet printable game is a quick and easy no prep way for kids to practice letter naming fluency (the quick recall of letters). As students are able to name the letters fluently you can also have them use the same printable to practice naming the letter sounds associated with the letters in the printable.
We’ve even created a number fluency version because this set has been so popular!

WAYS TO PLAY
Let your kids roll a number cube of your choice. Then have them locate the row that corresponds on the game board.
Have them read the row that corresponds with the number on the dice.
You can decide whether you want to have your children focus on naming the letter or naming the sound. You can switch it up based on the current skill you’d like your kids to focus on.
EXTENDED LEARNING ACTIVITIES
You can easily let your kids play the game longer if you want them to get more fluency practice. Here are a few ways to play!
- Use a sand timer and have kids play until the timer runs out.
- Use counters to track how many times a child finishes a specific row. Place the counters out in rows next to the completed row. Challenge kids to play until there are three counters beside each row.
