Letter V Practice Activities
Printable Letter V word search activities help Nursery, LKG and UKG children recognise V/v, connect it to its sound, and spot it in simple words.
Practice that builds confidence
Letter V recognition in early years
These Letter V practice activities are made for Nursery, LKG and UKG children who are beginning to notice letters in print. Children practise recognising uppercase V and lowercase v, listening for the /v/ sound, and finding the letter in simple word-search style tasks.
The printables include clear, child-friendly activities such as spotting V among other letters, circling V words, and working with familiar vocabulary like van, vase, vest, violin and vegetables. They support early alphabet confidence before children move on to reading longer words.
Letter V has a sharp, open shape that children can often recognise visually, but they may still confuse it with W, U or Y. These worksheets give repeated practice with uppercase V and lowercase v so children learn to look carefully at the slanting lines, the point at the bottom, and the way the letter appears inside words.
Word-search activities with a purpose
At Nursery, LKG and UKG level, a word search should not feel like a puzzle meant for older children. Here, the focus is on scanning, matching and circling. Children may find the letter V in a group of mixed letters or look for short V words such as van and vest. This builds eye movement, attention to print, and the habit of reading from left to right.
Sound and vocabulary connection
Say the /v/ sound gently with the top teeth touching the lower lip, then connect it to pictures or spoken words. Useful examples include van, vase, violin, vest and vegetables. Children do not need to spell every word independently; the goal is to hear the beginning sound and recognise the printed V.
A simple home routine
Parents can begin by showing the letter card or worksheet title and asking, “Can you find V?” Let the child circle one V at a time, then say a V word aloud. After the worksheet, play a quick hunt around the house or picture book: look for V in labels, story pages or names. Keep the tone playful and praise careful looking, not speed.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these sheets for alphabet centres, small-group phonics practice or revision after introducing Letter V. Pair the worksheet with oral vocabulary, air-writing, and a quick board activity where children sort V and non-V letters. For mixed readiness groups, ask some children to only find V/v, while others identify V words.
Common mistakes and a child-friendly strategy
Watch for children circling W, confusing lowercase v with u, or saying the letter name without noticing the sound. A helpful strategy is: “Point, trace, say.” The child points to V, traces its two slanting lines with a finger, and says /v/ as in van.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does my child practise in these Letter V worksheets?
Children practise recognising uppercase V and lowercase v, spotting the letter in simple word-search activities, and connecting V with the /v/ sound in words such as van, vest and vase.
Are these Letter V activities suitable for Nursery children?
Yes. Nursery children can use them with adult support to find and circle V. LKG and UKG children can usually complete more of the spotting and word-based tasks with increasing independence.
