Give your youngest learners a festive way to practise handwriting with this Halloween ABC book of costumes! Designed for preschool and foundation year students, this printable Halloween ABC book helps beginning writers build letter recognition and letter formation/handwriting skills while discovering and using Halloween-themed vocabulary. Each page includes a letter, a Halloween-related object, and a word to trace or write.

Differentiated ABC Halloween Book 

This ABC Halloween book of costumes comes in two versions to suit different learning needs. 

• Version 1 provides dotted tracing lines for students to use to write each of the words.,
