How to use this printable
Print the PDF at 100 percent scale on US Letter or A4 paper. No sign up is needed. Give the child a pencil or crayons. On page 1, the child continues 6 ABC patterns by drawing or writing the next item in each sequence. On page 2, the child circles the item that comes next in 6 more ABC patterns. Page 3 is the answer key for you to check the work. The child learns to recognize and extend repeating patterns with three different elements, building early math and logic skills. Work through one page at a time. Let the child say the pattern aloud before drawing or circling. Praise effort and let them correct mistakes using the answer key.
Teaching tips
- To make it easier, start by pointing to each item in the pattern and saying the names together before the child continues the sequence.
- To make it harder, ask the child to create their own ABC pattern on a blank sheet after finishing the worksheet.
- To reuse the page, place it in a clear plastic sleeve and have the child use dry erase markers instead of pencils or crayons.
