Writing Cursive Uppercase J Worksheet
Now that you have taught the block script way of writing both the uppercase and lowercase j, you can move on to this worksheet.
It teaches the student how to write the uppercase j but in a cursive format. As they are likely early on in their learning, they might find cursive a bit tricky, but it is still a good skill to learn and the sooner they do it the more it will stick.

Writing Cursive Lowercase J Worksheet

Find The Letter J Worksheet
This worksheet is another one that focuses on the visual aspect of learning. It consists of a page full of images that have different letters on them including the letter j.
The student is asked to find the images that have the letter j on them and then color them in. It is kind of like a game of I spy but more educational and will keep them busy for a while.

I Spy The Letter J Worksheet
Because we mentioned I spy in the previous worksheet, let’s focus a bit more on that with this one. It works in a very similar way as it has a jumble of letters on the page that are inside little bubbles.
The child has to then look through them carefully before coloring in the ones that have the letter j.
There is also a tracing and writing exercise below on this worksheet that you could ask them to complete first.

J Handwriting Worksheet
J is for jellyfish and once your students finish this worksheet, they will know this off by heart.
As well as having a big beautiful jellyfish to color in, this worksheet has a tracing exercise below which will teach your students how to write the letter j.
For an added bit of interaction and fun, after the pupils have finished with this worksheet, you could cut out the jellyfish and make wall art out of them.
This will add an extra reward to the exercise and can also be used to refer to later on (and it will make the classroom look great).

J Puzzle Worksheet
This worksheet calls for a pair of scissors so make sure that you are paying close attention to the children as they complete this step.
The worksheet has an image of a j that is within a square, split up into four individual pieces which have guides of where you need to cut.
Once it has been cut out, you can mix the pieces up a bit before asking the student to place them together correctly to form the puzzle.

Sorting Between Uppercase And Lowercase J Worksheet
This worksheet is a lot of fun, especially for youngsters who love colors, patterns and cutting things out. On this worksheet, there are two boards, one that is asking for uppercase j’s and the other one asking for lowercase j’s.
The student must cut out each of the eight j’s at the bottom of the page which is a mix between uppercase and lowercase. Then, they have to sort them onto the boards.

Match The Image To The Name Worksheet
There is a small tracing and writing section on this worksheet which you can ask your students to complete first so that they can look forward to the fun part.
There are five images that start with j on one side of the page and five corresponding names on the other.
However, they are not in the right order to one another, and it is up to your student to match them together by drawing lines between the image and the name.

Color The Squares Worksheet
This worksheet is a bit like a word search as the student has to find the letter j’s among the other letters within the square before coloring them in.
It is not too hard as there are not a lot of letters in the square to get confused by, but it will still require the child to have a good think about how to recognize a j.

Trace The Words Worksheet
This is another tracing and writing exercise which will teach the pupil how to write out very common words.
There are five images that all start with j on the left-hand side of the page and the names are on the other, but they have to be traced in order for the exercise to be completed.
The instructions to this worksheet are worded in another tracing practice further down on the same page which you can ask the child to complete before reading it and understanding what they are being asked to do.

Uppercase And Lowercase J Worksheet
Knowing how to write an uppercase and lowercase j are very important as they are a bit different, especially in height but once they are finished with this worksheet, they will have a very good understanding of it.
There are two lines at the top of the worksheet that have tracing practices for both of the j’s.
Then, below this, there are five images but not all of them start with the letter j. So, it is up to the child to understand which ones start with j and once they do, they are to be cut out and glued down inside the grid.
