Navigate the N

This early literacy worksheet supports students in Pre-K, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 as they develop uppercase letter formation, phonemic awareness, and handwriting fluency. Learners trace the uppercase letter N using dotted models and then transition to independent writing, while a nest illustration provides a clear visual cue to reinforce beginning sound recognition and vocabulary connections.
