Every letter has a big form and a small form. They are partners.

In this lesson you will:
  • Point to capital and small letters.
  • Match a capital letter to its small partner.
  • Write a few capital and small letters neatly.

Partners

Look at these pairs: A a, B b, C c, D d. The big letter is called a capital letter. The small letter is called a small letter.

  • A and a
  • E and e
  • M and m
  • S and s

Where We Use Capitals

We use a capital letter at the start of a name, at the start of a sentence, and for the word "I".

Match them

Draw a line from G to g.

Draw a line from R to r.

Tip Say the letter sound as you trace it. Seeing, saying and writing together helps the letter stick.

Practice

  1. Write the capital partner of a, b, c, d and e.
  2. Write the small partner of F, K, P and T.
  3. Find five capital letters in a newspaper or book.

Recap

Capital and small letters are partners. We use capitals for names and at the start of sentences.
