🔤Finding a letter in a crowd of letters is the skill that turns letter names into reading. These hunts cover A–Z in two levels: errorless pages where beginners cannot go wrong, and find-and-count pages where children hunt among look-alikes, trace both cases and practice handwriting on every page.

Letter recognition is the first job of learning to read, and these hunts give children a reason to look closely at every letter. The packet covers A–Z in two levels: 26 errorless hunt pages for beginners, where every bubble holds the target letter, and 26 find-and-count hunt pages for more advanced learners, where target letters hide among look-alike letters. It is written for PreK through 1st grade, with pacing guides for PreK, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, Special Education and ELL.
Every hunt page does more than one job. Children find the target letter, then trace its uppercase and lowercase forms and finish three lines of handwriting practice. At Level 2 they count the uppercase and lowercase letters they found and record the answers in count boxes. An ABC picture chart opens the packet with all 26 letters and picture words.
The two levels are built for different learners on purpose. Level 1 is errorless: a child who is just meeting letters cannot get it wrong, which makes it a safe first step for beginning learners, special education students and ELL students. Level 2 raises the demand: the target letter sits among look-alikes, so children have to look at the shape of each letter carefully instead of guessing. A 'My Letter Tracker' lets students color each letter as they master it, and a Letter Detective Certificate marks the finish.
For planning, the packet includes a study plan, a 5-step teaching routine, pacing guides for each grade and setting, teacher notes, a differentiation guide, letter style information, ways to use the pages, a materials list and printing tips. A complete answer key with uppercase and lowercase letter counts is included.

Errorless pages let a beginner succeed on the first try, and find-and-count pages make a child who knows the letters look carefully instead of guessing. Tracing and handwriting on every page mean the hunt builds letter formation at the same time.
