Before a child can read or count on paper, they need to know which marks are letters and which are numbers. It sounds simple, but A and 4, or E and 3, can look alike to a new learner. Every box on these sheets has six letters and numbers mixed together, and the child circles all the letters, or all the numbers. There are always two to four to find in a box.

Set Circle the to Letters or to Numbers. Set Letters to Capital, Lowercase or Both. Letters that look like a number, such as O and 0, S and 5, Z and 2, or B and 8, never appear, so every sign has one clear answer. Choose four or six boxes on a page.

The answer key lists what to circle in every box. Press New sheet for new letters and numbers. Every sheet prints in color or black and white, on US Letter or A4. Nothing to sign up for.
