Step-by-step solution for: FREE Letter A Worksheets for Preschool ⋆ The Hollydog Blog
Let’s go step by step to solve the “Letter A” worksheet tasks.
---
Task 1: Trace the dotted letters
- Top left: Dotted uppercase A — you trace over the dots to form a big letter A.
- Top right: Dotted lowercase a — you trace over the dots to form a small letter a.
✔ You just follow the dots with your pencil or crayon to make the letters.
---
Task 2: Color the picture
- Bottom left: There’s an airplane. Since this is part of the “Letter A” theme, and “airplane” starts with A, you can color it any way you like — maybe blue for sky, red for body, etc. No specific rule here — just have fun coloring!
✔ Just pick colors and fill in the airplane.

Task 3: Find all the Letter A’s (uppercase and lowercase)
Look at the grid on the bottom right:
```
A c f A
G a B
a A a w
A d E S a
```
We need to find every A (big) and a (small).
Let’s go row by row:
Row 1:
→ First letter: A ✔
→ Fourth letter: A ✔
Row 2:
→ Third letter: a ✔
Row 3:
→ First letter: a ✔
→ Third letter: A ✔
→ Fourth letter: a ✔
Row 4:
→ First letter: A ✔
→ Fifth letter: a ✔
Now count them:
Uppercase A: positions (1,1), (1,4), (3,3), (4,1) → that’s 4
Lowercase a: positions (2,3), (3,1), (3,4), (4,5) → that’s 4
Total = 4 + 4 = 8
Wait — let me double-check by listing each one clearly:
Grid layout (row, column):
(1,1): A → yes
(1,2): c → no
(1,3): f → no
(1,4): A → yes
(2,1): [blank? Actually looking again — the grid seems to be 4 rows x 5 columns?]
Actually, let’s rewrite the grid properly as shown:
It's arranged like this:
Row 1: A , c , f , A
Row 2: G , a , B ← wait, spacing suggests maybe it’s aligned differently?
Looking again from the image description (even though I can’t see it, based on standard worksheets):
The box says:
```
A c f A
G a B
a A a w
A d E S a
```
This likely means:
Row 1: A, c, f, A → 4 items
Row 2: (space), G, a, (space), B → so positions: col2=G, col3=a, col5=B
Row 3: a, (space), A, a, w → col1=a, col3=A, col4=a, col5=w
Row 4: A, d, E, S, a → col1=A, col2=d, col3=E, col4=S, col5=a
So let’s list all cells that are either ‘A’ or ‘a’:
From Row 1:
- Col1: A → ✔
- Col4: A → ✔
From Row 2:
- Col3: a → ✔
From Row 3:
- Col1: a → ✔
- Col3: A → ✔
- Col4: a → ✔
From Row 4:
- Col1: A → ✔
- Col5: a → ✔
That’s:
A’s: (1,1), (1,4), (3,3), (4,1) → 4
a’s: (2,3), (3,1), (3,4), (4,5) → 4
Total = 8
But wait — in Row 2, is there really nothing in col1 and col4? The original text says:
“A c f A
G a B
a A a w
A d E S a”
This might mean:
Row 1: A, c, f, A → 4 characters
Row 2: _ , G, a, _ , B → so 5 columns? Then Row 1 should also be 5? But it only has 4.
Hmm — perhaps it’s formatted as:
Actually, looking at typical such worksheets, it’s usually a 4x4 or 5x5 grid. Let me assume it’s written as:
First line: A c f A → that’s 4
Second line: (indent) G a (then space) B → maybe it’s meant to be under columns?
Alternatively, perhaps it’s:
Column-wise alignment isn't strict — we just look for every instance of 'A' or 'a' regardless of position.
In the string given:
“A c f A
G a B
a A a w
A d E S a”
If we remove spaces and just read letters:
Line 1: A, c, f, A → two A’s
Line 2: G, a, B → one a
Line 3: a, A, a, w → two a’s and one A → total 3
Line 4: A, d, E, S, a → one A and one a → total 2
Wait — better to extract all letters present:
From line 1: A, c, f, A → A appears twice
From line 2: G, a, B → a appears once
From line 3: a, A, a, w → a appears twice, A once → total 3
From line 4: A, d, E, S, a → A once, a once → total 2
Now sum up:
Uppercase A: line1 (2) + line3 (1) + line4 (1) = 4
Lowercase a: line2 (1) + line3 (2) + line4 (1) = 4
Still 8 total.
But let me check if “G”, “B”, “w”, “d”, “E”, “S”, “c”, “f” are distractors — yes, they are not A or a.
So final count: 8 instances of letter A (both cases).
However — sometimes these puzzles ask to circle ONLY uppercase A, or only lowercase a? But the instruction says: “find” — and since the title is “Letter A”, and includes both tracing of A and a, it’s safe to assume we find BOTH.
Also, in the tracing section, they show both A and a — so finding both makes sense.
Thus, number of A’s to find: 8

Final Answer:
You traced the dotted A and a, colored the airplane, and found 8 letter A’s (4 uppercase and 4 lowercase) in the grid.
