ACTIVITY 1 OF 5
v for van: two slants meeting at a point
Follow the two slanting movements of lowercase v beside a van to colour. Listen to the first sound with an adult, trace the letter and try your own; copying van is optional.
FIVE WAYS TO TRY ONE LETTER
Lowercase v practice
A van starts this five-page lowercase v set. Follow two slants to one low point, find v among u and w, then name van, vet and vest. A vet beside a van finishes the pack; word copying is optional.

ACTIVITY 2 OF 5
Large lowercase v
Follow the two slants of lowercase v beside a van. An adult can model the point before finger tracing and a few pencil attempts.
ACTIVITY 3 OF 5
Find lowercase v
Find six lowercase v letters among u and w. Compare the point with u's curve and w's two low points before tracing.
ACTIVITY 4 OF 5
v in little words
Name van, vet and vest together. Find written v at the start of each word; vest is a longer word, so copying is optional.
ACTIVITY 5 OF 5
Vet by a van
Colour a vet beside a van. An adult can explain that a vet helps animals; practise v and copy a word only if you like.
Meet at one point
Begin at the marked upper-left point. Slant down, turn at the bottom and slant up to the right. Follow the large arrows with a finger before trying the smaller traced v.
In the finding grid, u curves at the bottom and w has two low points. Point to each of the six v shapes, then circle or colour them with an adult.
Say van, vet and vest together. A vet is someone who cares for animals; an adult can name the picture. The initial v makes a gentle buzzing sound, unlike breathy f. Colour the final scene even if neither word is copied.
For uppercase and lowercase together, try the Vv alphabet colouring and tracing sheet. These five activities focus on lowercase v, including van, vet, vest. See printing and paper-size help when choosing a PDF.
