These free alphabet chart templates give you 10 printable Word documents: an A to Z ABC chart with uppercase and lowercase letters, a lowercase chart, a chart with the vowels highlighted, alphabet desk strips and a write-and-draw alphabet page, on A4 or US Letter. I’m Patrick Elliott, a teacher and Inclusion Lead. I made these for phonics lessons and writing desks, using a simple a and g that match the way children are taught to write them.
In this guide, you’ll find which alphabet chart suits which age, why the letters use a simple a and g, and how to use the charts in class or at home.

Which Alphabet Chart Should You Use?
- Uppercase and lowercase: a colourful A to Z wall chart, with each capital beside its lowercase letter.
- Lowercase: big a to z letters for early readers, who meet lowercase letters first.
- Vowels highlighted: vowels in red and consonants in blue, for phonics and spelling lessons.
- Desk strips: three strips per page to cut out and stick on desks or in books.
- Write and draw: a box for each letter, so children write a word or draw something that starts with it.
How to Use an Alphabet Chart
- Point to each letter as you sing or say the alphabet together.
- Say the letter sound as well as the name, such as “a says /a/ as in apple”.
- Play “I spy” with the chart: find the letter a word starts with.
- Keep a desk strip in reach so children can check how to write a letter.
