Lesson details
Key learning points
- Capital letters are upper case formations of a letter.
- Every lower case letter has a matching capital letter.
- Lower case letters and their capital letter can be formed in similar or different ways.
Keywords
Capital letter - the upper case formation of letters in the alphabet
Lower case letter - the smaller version of letters that we use for most of our writing, appearing in non-initial positions in words.
Common misconception
Forming a capital letter is just doing the lower case letter formation bigger.
Highlight every time the lower case and capital letter is different so it is clear the formation is different not just the size.
Having displays around the classroom which show the matching letters will be helpful.
