Your students will have a strong start to their education with spelling, writing, and reading once they master the alphabet.
And since it can be said that the letter e is the most important one to get the hang of, let’s look at some of the best worksheets that will teach your students the letter e.
This worksheet is a great one to start with because it goes into detail as to how you should write both the lowercase and the uppercase e properly.
It does this with lines that are numbered, so the student is to follow the lines in the order that they are shown, by doing this they will learn that this is the most efficient way to write.
In addition to this, besides the letters, there are three small sentences that show an image of what starts with the letter e. This will be a great help to your students as they will learn how to use the letters in real-life scenarios.

Once your student has a good base knowledge of how the letter e should be drawn, they can move on to this tracing worksheet.
This exercise starts off with tracing the uppercase letters before moving on to the lowercase letters before they are then combined.
You can use this worksheet to test how the child will draw trace the letters and correct any mistakes before they form into a habit – making it harder to correct later on!

It is a well-known fact in this day and age that not all children learn in the same way. With this in mind, this worksheet is great for those who are much more visual.
It is also very good for students to learn how the letter is associated with real lie objects that they come across every day.
The worksheet has a column of five images that all start with the letter e, then on the opposite side of the page there are five words.
However, these images and words are not lined up in correlation to one another, so the child is asked to draw a line to match each image to the correct name for it.

This is another great worksheet for those who are visual learners, and what child doesn’t like to color? For this exercise, there is a big uppercase E which the child can color in with any color or pattern that they wish.
Once they have done that, they can complete the task below which asks them to trace the very short sentence.
There is also more space in the lines below this tracing sentence which the student can use to write it from scratch which is a great challenge and will definitely help them progress.

Since we covered worksheets that focused a bit more on the uppercase e, here is a worksheet that is devoted to the lowercase e because it is just as important!
In this worksheet, it asks the student to trace the lowercase e’s that are laid out in a small grid which makes them easy to see.
There are also plenty of opportunities for coloring in for this worksheet too which is an added bonus.
Below the grid, there is a very short sentence (similar to the one in the last worksheet) that challenges the child to trace it before moving on to writing it themselves below.

This worksheet does a great job of making education fun. It works by asking the students to color in the images on the page that start with the letter e.
Not all the images start with this letter though so your students will have to do a bit of sound work as they say the word and figure out on their own if it starts with an e or not.

Once the child has gotten a good foundation of the letter, they can start writing words that incorporate it. This worksheet has a list of images on the left-hand side that starts with e and beside the image is the name of it.
The student can then trace the word, cursively, teaching them how a lowercase e is linked to the letters on either side of it.

This worksheet may not be the most advanced in learning level, but it is a lot of fun, a great way to either start off or end a session as it still uses the letter e but in a different way.
On the page, there is an uppercase e which has a maze inside it that the child must navigate in order for the mouse to reach the cheese.
If you are interested in this worksheet, you can access it here.
Even though it is almost identical to the previous worksheet, this one uses a lowercase e as the format for the maze.
The student is then asked to lead the mouse to the cheese. This is perfect for using alongside the previous worksheet as it will give the student a good idea of the shape of both formats of the letter.

Another great crafty worksheet is this one which you will need to supervise though as the student will be asked to use scissors to cut out the three words that start with e.
Then, they are asked to arrange the words on the page so that they correlate with the images beside the empty space before gluing them down.
There is also a section underneath that consists of a short sentence, giving a brief outline of what the student must do in the exercise. They can trace over this sentence before moving below to write it from scratch.

Learning how the letter is used in the English language will improve your student’s association skills which makes them more capable of using their own initiative of where the letter e should be.
There are five images on the left-hand side of the page that begin with e. There are also five words on the right-hand side of the page, but they are missing the letter e.
This is where the student comes in as they are tasked to add the e into each word.

This is another crafty worksheet that will need a bit of adult supervision as scissors will be involved.
The instructions for the exercise are laid out below in a short sentence that can be traced before moving on to write it from scratch below.
They are asked to cut out the three individual e’s before arranging them to fit into the three words that are written out on the page with images beside them to help give them a hint.
Then, once they have the e’s in the right places, they are to glue them down.

Combining coloring, reading, and writing in this worksheet is what makes it such a good exercise for students who are learning the letter e.
There are five sentences that state that they see an image in a particular color which the student must read carefully so that they use the right color.
Each image starts with the letter e and below there is a writing exercise. It begins with a very short sentence that explains the instructions which the child can trace and then write the same sentence themselves below.
If you are interested in this worksheet, you can access it here.
Now that they know what a lowercase and uppercase e look like, you can put your students to the test by giving them this worksheet which will ask them to only color in the uppercase e’s which are mixed in with lowercase ones too.
Below, there is also a sentence that they can trace before moving on to write it themselves.

This worksheet works as a game that you can use over and over again. You could also combine these cards with other letters as you progress through the alphabet to make it more challenging.
The aim is to pair the cards together which are cut out of the worksheet. There are six pairs that have images that start with e and the name of it below.
The student can even color these cards in before cutting them out.
Once they are cut out, the cards are jumbled up in a random order facing downwards which they then have to turn over individually until they make a pair, and then if they do not match, they have to turn them back over and start again.

Summary
There are a lot of worksheets out there on the internet which can make things quite overwhelming when you are trying to find the best ones for your students.
Luckily, we have put together some of the best worksheets that you can print out and teach your students the letter e including how to write it, how to use it in sentences, and how to associate it with words.
Hi, my name is Helena Waters and I was a teacher for 40 years before retiring last year.
During my time as a teacher I dedicated the majority of it to making classrooms as fun as possible, with educational parties, fun activities, and low cost entertainment that made the children excited about learning.
I taught children of all ages, from preschoolers to high school students. Now, with the pandemic having uprooted everything that children once knew about school and learning, I think that the need for my ideas is bigger than ever.
That is why I created School Sparks, a place in which I can write down and share all of my ideas on how to get students excited about going to school again. I hope that you’ll find some useful within a school setting, even at home too!
