These free printable alphabet letters give you 4 sets of giant letters as Word documents, one letter a page: uppercase, lowercase, uppercase and lowercase pairs, and outline letters to colour, on A4 and US Letter. I’m Patrick Elliott, a teacher and Inclusion Lead. I put letters up around every classroom I teach in, so I made giant letters in the round a and g children learn, sized to fill the page.
In this guide, you’ll find which set suits your classroom, ways to use giant letters, and how to print only the letters you need or change their colour in Word.
What’s in the Printable Alphabet Letters

| A4 | Lowercase a to z | Phonics walls and matching games |
| A4 | Uppercase and Lowercase | Aa to Zz together, one pair a page |

👉 Every set has 26 pages with one giant letter on each, in Century Gothic for the round a and g taught in most schools.
👉 Each letter is ordinary Word text, so you can change its colour, make it bigger or type a different letter or number in its place.
Which Alphabet Letters Should You Use?
- Uppercase A to Z: capital letters for displays, washing lines and letter hunts.
- Lowercase a to z: the letters children read and write most, for phonics walls and matching games.
- Uppercase and lowercase: Aa to Zz on landscape pages, so children see both forms of each letter together.
- Outline letters to colour: hollow letters to colour, fill with collage or cut out, which also saves ink.
Ways to Use Printable Alphabet Letters
- Peg them on a washing line across the classroom and ask children to find a letter or put them in order.
- Spell a name or a word for a display board or a birthday banner.
- Hide letters around the room for a letter hunt, then match each one to an object that starts with it.
- Give each child an outline letter to decorate for a class alphabet.
How to Print Only the Letters You Need
- Press Ctrl + P to open the print settings.
- In Pages, type the page numbers of your letters: A is page 1 and Z is page 26, so S, A and M are 19, 1, 13.
- Click Print. Each letter prints on its own page in the order you typed.
To make a letter bigger or smaller, select it and change the size on the Home tab — the guide on how to change font size in Word shows every method.

FAQs
How big are the letters?
Each capital is about 12 cm (4.7 inches) tall on its own page, big enough to read from the back of a classroom.
Can I fit two letters on one page?
Yes. Select the letter, make it smaller on the Home tab and type a second letter beside it.
Are lowercase letters better for young children?
Most reading starts with lowercase, so use those for phonics and the uppercase set for names and capitals.
Can I print the letters in colour?
Yes. Select a letter and pick a colour from Home > Font Color, or print them in navy as they are.
Which font are the letters in?
Century Gothic, which comes with Microsoft Office and has the round a and g most children learn first.
Can I make my own letters for a name?
Yes. Click a letter, delete it and type any letter or number. It keeps the same giant size.
