About this coloring page
O is a vowel with several sounds. The short sound starts octopus, olive and otter. The long sound says its own name, as in ocean, oval and open. The word on this letter O coloring page, Owl, starts with yet another sound, "ow", the same one you hear in cow and now. That makes Owl a nice word for showing that letters and sounds do not always match one to one. The page has a big Oo and tracing rows.
Capital O is a big round circle and lowercase o is a small one that sits on the writing line. Start at the top, go around to the left, down, across the bottom and back up to where you began, closing the loop. Starting at the top and going left is the same motion used for a, c, d, g and q, so practicing O helps a whole group of letters.
