Letter Misconception Sorts - Free Alphabet Sorting Pages for Common Letter Confusions
Phonics
Download 10 free letter sorting pages to help students correct common misconceptions like b vs d. Great for visual discrimination and phonics instruction.
This free download includes 10 letter sorting pages focused on helping students identify and correct common alphabet misconceptions. Many early learners confuse visually similar letters, and these sorts offer a structured, hands-on way to build clarity and confidence.
Students will sort and compare letter pairs such as:
b vs d
p vs q
m vs n
u vs n
and other commonly reversed or rotated letters
These activities are designed to improve visual discrimination, reinforce proper letter formation, and reduce letter confusion that can interfere with reading and writing development. Sorting helps students see subtle differences between letter shapes, and repeated exposure builds stronger mental representations of each letter.
Use these pages in small groups, phonics centers, or as part of targeted intervention for students showing consistent letter reversals or confusion.
