20 Activities to Support Letter Naming Fluency

Super fun ways to practice, practice, practice!

We usually start teaching the alphabet by singing the ABCs song. Once kids have that down pat, it’s time for the next step—recognizing the letters in print. This skill is called letter naming fluency, and it’s a key step for pre-readers. Mostly, it just takes a lot of practice. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to make that practice fun, like these letter naming fluency activities. Easy as ABC!

1. Start with name letters

We often start teaching letter naming fluency with the letters of students’ names. That makes those letters meaningful to kids, and they’re more eager to learn. Try a simple activity like selecting the letters of their name and placing them into an envelope.

2. Point, say, and learn

This is one of the simplest letter naming activities. Simply type or write the letters you want students to practice, then cut the paper into strips. Have the student point to each (they can use their finger or a colorful pointing stick) and say the letter. If you like, they can also say the sound that letter makes.

3. Roll and name

Grab this free printable at the link. Then have your student roll a die and read the letters in that row. (This one sneaks in a little counting practice too!)

4. Clip the letters

Use this tip with letter strips or make colorful letter circles like these. You can write the letters on the clothespins and ask kids to match them up. (This is especially useful for matching capital and lowercase letters.) Or, simply use plain clothespins and ask kids to clip each letter as you call it out.

5. Play a game of Bang!

Grab a pack of wood craft sticks from the dollar store and use them to make your own Bang! game. Players take turns pulling a stick from the container and reading out the letter. If they get it right, they add it to their pile, but if they’re wrong, it goes back into the container. If they pull the “Bang!” stick, they have to put all their letters back!

6. Pull and Say

Try this with alphabet beads or a digital alphabet board . Have students pull each letter down, saying the name as they do. Then, as they slide it back up, they say the sound the letter makes.

7. Park letter cars

This is so fun for active learners! Label toy cars with letters and have kids drive them into parking spaces, saying the letter names (and sounds, if you like) as they go!

8. Pull letters from a sensory bin

Fill a plastic bin with colored rice and magnetic alphabet letters. Then give kids a magnet wand and have them pull out the letters one by one, naming them as they go.

9. Swat the letters

Kids love getting to play with flyswatters! This one’s easy to set up, too. Just trace circles onto a large piece of paper and write a letter in each. Have kids swat the letter and say the name or call out a letter and have students swat it, repeating as they do.

Letter Naming Fluency Activities for Kindergarten

A large part of kindergarten literacy development is mastering the alphabet. Letter naming fluency is a key skill that is practiced daily. It is the foundation for all literacy skills to come. If students have not mastered letter recognition, learning to read and write is nearly impossible.

Read on to discover letter naming fluency activities and assessments that will make teaching this skill more effective in your classroom.

This article, along with many other articles on The Printable Princess website, contains Amazon affiliate links. If you purchase through the links, we earn a small commission. We only share links to things that we love.

What is Letter Naming Fluency and Why is it Important?

Letter naming fluency is the ability to recognize and recite letter names quickly and accurately. Students need to be able to identify letter names and do it well.

As kindergarten teachers, you spend a ton of time in the first few weeks and months of school to strengthen this skill, as it is the foundation for all other literacy skills.

Even though it may seem like an easy skill to teach, it doesn't come easy for some kiddos.

It's key to give students multiple opportunities to work on letter recognition with a variety of hands-on kindergarten alphabet activities, games, and paper and pencil pages.

By practicing letter recognition in different ways, students will become more familiar with letter names and increase their alphabet fluency.

Once they've built this strong foundation, naming letters becomes more automatic for them. They don't have to actively think about it, which makes it easier to recall the information and they become more fluent.

The Importance of Assessing Letter Naming Fluency

Before you begin teaching letters, it's important to assess students early on in the year to determine a baseline. This will help you see what they already know and show growth throughout the year.

As you work on letter naming fluency with your students, it's key that you assess students often to see how they're progressing towards mastery.

You can progress monitor students every 2 weeks to start. As they work towards mastery, you can move to assessing every month.

If a student is struggling and needs intervention, progress monitor them every week to ensure you're giving them the support they need. To streamline the process, use the free letter names assessment at the bottom of this post.

Letter Naming Fluency Activities

Alphabet read alouds.

When beginning to teach letter names to increase alphabet fluency, it's important to make connections so students can grasp the letter names and their corresponding sounds.

Using alphabet read aloud books, such as Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten are great ways to develop a love of reading and expose students to letters and sounds.

After reading the story, go back through the book and have students identify each letter name and sound. They can write it on a whiteboard or a piece of paper as you go back through the book.

For more alphabet read aloud books and ideas, check out this blog post .

I Can Write Alphabet Sentences

A great way to help students practice letter naming fluency and make connections is to give them exposure to uppercase/lowercase letters as well as pictures that begin with that letter and sound.

This helps them increase their alphabet fluency while expanding their vocabulary. As students grow their skills, they can begin to complete sentences and trace sentences using those vocabulary words.

Using activities such as I Can Write Alphabet Sentences is great for your tactile learners.

Students hear letter names and sounds in books. They see letters as they read simple sentences and look at pictures.

By writing letters and tracing simple alphabet sentences using those letters, they feel how to form the letters, making that mind-body connection.

Alphabet I Spy

To make letter recognition practice fun, play a game of Alphabet I Spy. Start by saying “I spy something that starts with the letter R that makes the /r/ sound.”

Students will look around the room to find the word. You can also play this by saying “I spy a bear. What letter does bear start with? What sound does that letter make?”

You can have students write the letter on a whiteboard, on a piece of paper, or show the letter by using a magnetic letter.

Draw a Letter

Hands-on manipulatives such as magnetic letters are great for letter naming fluency activities. Students can draw letters out of a container and identify the letter name. If you want to practice sounds, they can say the sound as well.

As students become more familiar with letter names, turn this into a small group game to see who can name the most letters accurately in 30 seconds. Whoever has the most letter manipulatives in their pile at the end of the 30 seconds wins.

Letter Hunt

Students can practice connecting letters and sounds to pictures using alphabet fluency cards and letter hunt pages .

The alphabet fluency cards are great for quick skill checks and letter recognition practice. These can be used for 1:1 practice with struggling students as well.

On the letter hunt pages, students identify the letter, the pictures that begin with that letter, and practice tracing and writing the letter in both uppercase and lowercase.

These alphabet fluency cards and letter hunt pages make the perfect letter naming fluency assessments. You can track their progress using the corresponding alphabet check-up page .

You can grab this free letter names assessment download by filling out the form below. It will be delivered straight to your inbox so you can use it right away to check in on your students' letter naming fluency.

This letter names assessment includes student uppercase and lowercase letter pages in two versions, a grayscale and color option. Each line is a different color, making it easy for students to track print.

It also comes with a teacher data tracker, so you can easily record your students' progress and add notes. No more tracking data on sticky notes, teacher friends!

Letter Naming Fluency (LNF)

What is LNF?

Letter Naming Fluency (LNF) is a brief, direct measure of a student’s fluency in naming letters. LNF assesses a student’s ability to recognize individual letters and say their letter names. Using standardized directions, the assessor presents a page of uppercase and lowercase letters arranged in random order and asks the student to name the letters. The assessor marks letter names that are read incorrectly or skipped. The total score is the number of correct letter names that the student says in 1 minute.

LNF is included in Acadience® Reading K–6 as an indicator of risk. LNF is a strong and robust predictor of later reading achievement but is not a powerful instructional target, i.e., focusing instruction on letter names should not be expected to lead to better reading outcomes.

For students at risk, the primary instructional goals should be developing phonological awareness skills and gaining knowledge about the alphabetic principle.

Scoring Rules and Tips

The student receives 1 point for each letter correctly named in 1 minute.

• In the font used on LNF, the lowercase L may look like an uppercase I. Give the student a point for naming the lowercase L as either an L or an I. Do not give the student a point for calling it a number 1. Students are not penalized for differences in pronunciation due to dialect, articulation delays or impairments, or for pronunciations due to speaking a first language other than English.
• The first time the student says a letter sound rather than the letter name, say Say the letter name, not its sound. This reminder may be used only once.
• Make note on any letter that had been previously marked and was self-corrected within 3 seconds. Count the self-corrected response as correct.
• Mark any row the student skips. Do not count the row when scoring.

For more information please see the Assessment Manual located on the

Acadience® Reading K–6 download page.

How to Boost Letter Naming Fluency for Beginning Readers

• April 19, 2021
• Uncategorized

“Research supports not only that letter naming must be accurate, but it must also be fast.” (Neuhaus & Swank, 2002). Enter letter naming fluency into the picture.  

You’ve probably administered a DIBELS assessment at some point in your teaching career. Students are required to name as many upper and lowercase letters in one minute.  

But why do we need students to name all those letters so quickly? And what if they can’t?

What is letter naming fluency?

In a Letter Name Fluency (LNF) task, a student is given a random list of upper- and lowercase letters and has 1 minute to identify the names of as many letters as possible. Schools often use these scores to determine which students are at risk for reading difficulties.

Why is letter naming fluency important? 

Letter naming fluency is included in many assessments because it’s a great indicator of risk and a strong predictor of reading success. Letter-naming speed is the single most significant predictor for word reading ability for first-grade students. (Neuhaus & Swank, 2002).  

When children can recognize and name the letters of the alphabet accurately and automatically, they have a foundation for learning the alphabetic principle and learning to read. (Adams, 1994; Ehri, 2005)

Also, students who recognize letters with accuracy and speed have an easier time learning the sounds associated with them. (Adams, 1999) 

Knowing letter names can help learn letter sounds because many sounds are embedded in the letter name. Say the letter name m aloud. You can hear the /m/ sound in the name!

Letter Naming Fluency Assessment in the Classroom

Teaching letter names to fluency can be a challenging task for several reasons. Beginning readers are often more familiar with certain letters, especially those in their names.  

As teachers, we must identify which letters our students are familiar with and which ones need additional instruction. Enter a letter naming fluency assessment, and I’m NOT talking about DIBELS.  

During my basic letter recognition assessments , I assess both accuracy and speed. I want to know if students can identify the specific letter and if they can do so quickly. This data determines what letters I need to teach and review and even how I form my small groups. Want to know more? Check out this blog post HERE .

Engaging & Fun Letter Naming Fluency Activities & Games that Improve Fluency

Here are 3 fun and engaging letter naming fluency activities and games to teach in 5 minutes.

ONE | Learning the Alphabet With Songs

Why not use this faithful classic to increase their fluency with letter recognition? As busy teachers, we can use all the simple tricks to improve student learning! Read “3 Creative Ways to Use the Alphabet Song to Teach Letter Recognition” for tips your can implement in your classroom tomorrow. I bet you haven’t sung the alphabet song to the tune of “Mary Had a Little Lamb” lately!

TWO | Matching Letter Shapes to Letter Names

Using an alphabet arc helps students learn to name and identify each letter by placing a plastic letter over the matching letter on an arc. It also helps build letter naming automaticity. Not sure how to use one? Click here for my free alphabet arc mat. You’ll find everything you need to know on how to use it in your classroom today. Read “3 Alphabet Arc Activities that Boost Letter Recognition (Fast)” for more ideas on to increase letter naming fluency with an alphabet arc.

THREE | Building Fluency in Letter Recognition and Naming

There are several ways you can build fluency including letter naming fluency charts, missing letter cards, and plain ‘ole flash cards.

Printable Alphabet Flashcards. 

Use a deck of letter cards containing all the letters of the alphabet.  Flip through them quickly, having students call out the letter name. Students can complete this letter recognition activity in 60 seconds or less. See how fast they can complete the task. Your students will love trying to beat their latest time! 

Letter Naming Fluency Chart.  Another activity for building fluency in letter naming is to read letters on a chart as quickly as possible.

Choose four or five letters that your students need to practice and create a fluency chart. Point to to the first letter and have students think about the letter name in their head.  Then when you tap under have everyone say it aloud.  This allows thinking time for all your students!  

If someone responds incorrectly, model the correct responses for everyone.  Then ask, “What is the name of this letter” as you tap underneath.  To ensure mastery and fluency, back up two letters before the error and continue until the end of the rows. 

I use these charts for fluency racing fun!  They are perfect for daily letter naming fluency practice.

Missing Letter Deck Cards.

The missing letter deck is a great way to warm up during a small group reading intervention. The decks are similar to flashcards but have a letter missing from a 3 letter alphabet sequence. Begin by using the deck in alphabetical order. As students progress, you can shuffle the cards and present them in random order. If needed, students can keep an alphabet strip in front of them for reference.

The missing letter deck encourages speed and proficiency. It’s perfect for building alphabet fluency and awareness.

Letter Naming Fluency Intervention

I incorporate all three of these letter naming activities listed above into my letter recognition intervention . By targeting all of these skills/activities each day, students can make substantial progress in a shorter amount of time!

Multiple exposures are essential because Berninger (2000) found that students identified with dyslexia needed more than 20 more times the practice than students without dyslexia to learn letter sequences!

Some of your students may need more targeted instruction to improve their letter naming and alphabetizing skills. This can apply to students of any age! Typically these skills are mastered at least by the middle of first grade. Yet, many students reach the upper elementary grades without being able to fluently and automatically name alphabet letters. Use a letter naming fluency assessment to determine if this is an issue. If older students can’t name 40 randomly arranged letters in a minute, they may need additional a letter naming fluency intervention.

You Might Need to focus on LNF if you:

• have students who need letter recognition instruction or intervention
• need fun ways to engage students while learning their letters
• want to use explicit, research-based instruction to ensure your students can rapidly and accurately identify all uppercase and lowercase letters

Did you know that fluent reading is one of the key components to unlocking comprehension? It’s true!

It can be very difficult for a young {or struggling} reader’s brain to unlock the meaning of the text if their brains must be so focused on what the letters or words are. If you play a musical instrument, you know that it’s a lot like asking a musician to sight read a piece for the first time AND include phrases and expression.

That’s why it’s important to develop reading fluency with re-readings .

But before we get to decoding words, learners need to know their letters and sounds. That’s where these NO PREP games can help!

These fluency games are different than your typical game board, though.

Usually, learners roll a die, move their marker, then identify the letter they landed on. Not with these boards! Instead, learners will roll a die, move their marker, then identify ALL the letters {or letter sounds} from “Start” to the space they landed on !

Did you notice the subtle difference? Because learners are naming the letters repeatedly throughout the entire game, they are getting some good fluency practice in!
