Early Years Worksheets Age 3-4

Get a Brilliant Start with our Early Years Worksheets

Preschool is an important time in a child's development. This age is all about laying strong foundations for learning and getting used to school. Kids will learn how to make friends, regulate their own behaviour, and venture into the world of letters and sounds, new vocabulary, and simple maths skills like counting.

At Mrs Wordsmith, we want kids’ earliest experiences with educational resources to be positive and useful. Preschool worksheets and books that feel like homework won't inspire the love of learning that is so key to intellectual curiosity and success. With guidance from the latest research, the early years foundation stage guidance in the UK National Curriculum, and our team of experts, we've created a variety of resources for ages 3-4. These tools include preschool workbooks and printable preschool worksheets, fun educational games and apps, and vocabulary-building resources. They were designed to help kids throw themselves into classroom life and to empower them to take charge of their learning journey from day one. Some of the resources described on this page are appropriate for other age groups as well, so you may have seen them before.

Many kids become familiar with the alphabet at this age. Our ABC Handwriting workbook merges a hilarious storybook with nursery worksheets for handwriting practice. It also features guided letter-writing practice and includes QR codes that take you to a sound recording for each letter.

For more early years worksheets, check out Foolproof Phonics Part 1, the first part of a step-by-step phonics programme. These printable worksheets for 4 year olds take kids through the different levels of phonics learning, with a focus on CVC words and digraphs and accurate coverage of the content in the KS1 National Curriculum guidance.

To complement this, our Foolproof Sight Words early years worksheets cover 200 important high-frequency words through colouring activities and puzzles. High-frequency words are very common words that experts recommend kids memorise by heart. Looking for more practice with high-frequency words? Our See It! Stick It! Sight Words sticker books are early years workbooks with a colourful interactive twist. To use them, kids match reusable stickers with 400 high-frequency words to accelerate their reading.

Beyond nursery worksheets, you can expand your child's vocabulary (and imagination!) with our My Epic Life Word Book and My Epic Life Daily Word Workout. These engaging books provide plenty of opportunities for casual conversations that will reinforce the words kids pick up.

It can be daunting to start searching for books and worksheets for 3 year olds and worksheets for 4 year olds, but you can’t go wrong with fun, research-backed resources like ours.
