How many letters should a 5 year old know?

I know it probably seems strange to read that word in a title on my blog, seeing that I really don’t make or use a ton of worksheets with my younger kids. But my preschooler has really enjoyed using these {1-2 worksheets a week} along with a second round of Learning the Alphabet this school year. I like that she can do them mostly on her own. She really enjoys tracing, dotting, coloring, and making patterns.
