Q.3: What are upper case letters? How do we introduce them to


the child?

Upper-case and Lower-case letters


➢ Materials
• Three sets of twenty-six cards, one
for each letter of the alphabet.
o The first set is 8x10cm and each card has
one letter written in the lower case.
o The second set is 8cmx10cm and each
card has one letters written in the upper
case (capital letters).
o The third set is 16cmx10cm and has one letter written in both the lower
and upper cases, the lowers case letter on the left and the upper-case letter
on the right.

➢ Presentation
• Invite one child to come and work with you.
• Introduce the material to the child and have him bring it over to the table.
• Choose three letters for the initial presentation, where the capital letters
look a great deal like the lower-case letter.
• Use the names of the letters in this lesson.
• If the child gives you the sound, affirm it but go
back to using their names.
• Show the lower case first and use this term.
• Show the upper case and give the term. Also
give the term “capital letter”
• Repeat for two more letters.
• Teach the new terms with the Three Period
lessons. Be sure to use the terms “upper case”
and “capital letter” alternatively.
• When the child is sure of those, continue with three at a time, until you
have completed all of the letters.

• Lay out all of the lower-case letters at random in vertical columns,


leaving sufficient space to put the capital letters beside them.
• Give the child the upper-case letters (one at a time) and have him place
each next to the lower-case letter. Discuss now and then if the capital
letter looks that same or looks different to the lower-case letter. Use both
terms alternatively for the upper-case letters.
• Once all upper-case letters have been placed, check with the third set of
cards.
• Replace the third set of cards.
