Students learn that every letter comes in two forms — a big uppercase letter and a little lowercase letter — and practice matching them, like A with a and B with b.
Students will be able to…
The letter A can look big (A) or little (a) — but it’s still the same letter! How do the big and little letters go together?
Project this and have students tap a big (uppercase) letter, then its matching little (lowercase) letter.
