Urdu Alphabet Tracing & Writing (حروف لکھنا)
Ages 3–6
Tracing sheets show where each harf starts and which way the pen moves. Children trace first, then write on their own. Our Urdu alphabet tracing page is the most visited Urdu page on IdeazSuper.
Adhi Ashkal – Half Letters (آدھی اشکال)
Ages 3–6
Most haroof change shape when they join other letters. Children who know full letters often get stuck here. These sheets put the full harf next to its half form so children learn to see them as the same letter.
Urdu Beginning Sounds (پہلی آواز)
Ages 2–6
These sheets link each harf to the sound it makes at the start of a word, using pictures of familiar things. It is the step between knowing a letter's name and reading a word.
Do Harfi Alfaz – Two-Letter Words (دو حرفی الفاظ)
Ages 4–6
Once your child knows the haroof and their half forms, two-letter words are the first real reading. The set runs in alphabet order across nine pages, so you can work through it one page a week.
Urdu Vocabulary – Names of Things (الفاظ اور نام)
Ages 3–6
Picture-based sheets that teach everyday Urdu words by theme. They work well for children who speak Urdu at home but are learning to read it, and for families abroad building vocabulary.
Cut & Paste and Reading Practice
Ages 3–6
Hands-on sheets that mix scissor skills with letter and word work, plus our first Urdu reader for children starting to read whole words.
Urdu Assessment Worksheets (جانچ)
Ages 4–6+
Short printable tests to check what your child knows before moving on. There are two tests for each age level, plus an alphabet assessment and an activity set you can use as review. All assessments are free.
KG Urdu Admission Test Practice
Ages 4–5+
Many schools in Pakistan check Urdu as part of KG admission, usually letter recognition, beginning sounds, simple words and basic writing. These practice papers cover those areas and are free.
Urdu Haroof Learning Paths (Alif to Yay)
A Learning Path is one page per harf with seven short steps: Watch, Colour, Identify, Connect the Sound, Trace, Write Independently and Check. Children who finish three activities and the check earn a free certificate. These letters are live now, with more being added in alphabet order:
Alif (ا) · Alif Madah (آ) · Bay (ب) · Pay (پ) · Tay (ت) · TTay (ٹ) · Say (ث) · Zuaad (ض) · Qaaf (ق) · Kaaf (ک) · Laam (ل) · Meem (م) · Noon (ن)
Suggested Order: Where Each Worksheet Fits
- Recognise the haroof – flash cards, matching, circle the letter.
- Trace and write – Urdu alphabet tracing, then writing Alif se Yay.
- Beginning sounds – link each harf to the first sound of a word.
- Adhi ashkal – learn the half forms used when letters join.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these Urdu worksheets free?
Yes. Every worksheet linked on this page is free to print at home or in class, with no sign-up. All Urdu assessments and admission test papers are free too.
What age are these Urdu worksheets for?
They cover ages 2 to 6, from Playgroup and Nursery through KG1 and KG2. Haroof identification and beginning sounds suit ages 2 to 5, tracing and adhi ashkal suit ages 3 to 6, and do harfi alfaz and the assessments suit ages 4 to 6.
In what order should I teach Urdu to my child?
Start with recognising the haroof, then tracing them, then beginning sounds. Move on to adhi ashkal (half forms) once your child knows most full letters, then two-letter words (do harfi alfaz). Use an assessment to check before each new stage.
What are adhi ashkal in Urdu?
Adhi ashkal are the half or joined forms of Urdu letters. Most haroof change shape when they join the next letter in a word, so children need to learn both forms before they can read joined words.
Can I use these worksheets in my classroom?
Yes. Teachers can print the free worksheets for their own class. Please link to IdeazSuper rather than re-uploading the files elsewhere.
Do you have Urdu worksheets for children learning Urdu abroad?
Yes. Many families in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the UK, the US and Canada use these sheets. The vocabulary sets and the Urdu Haroof Learning Paths are a good starting point if your child speaks some Urdu but cannot read it yet.
