Knowing all letters
Recognise and name all uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet; name the letters in order and use letter names to distinguish between alternative spellings
What a learner can do afterwards
- Name all 26 letters in both cases when shown in random order
- Recite the alphabet from A to Z
- Use letter names to explain spelling choices (e.g. 'Is it c or k in cat?')
The lesson
There are 26 letters in the alphabet. Each letter has a capital and a small form. A capital A and a small a are the same letter.
Try it together
Theo sees mixed-up letters: Q, t, B. He names each one fast: q, t, b, capital or small.
Good to know
A big G and a small g look different. But they are the same letter. Say the name, not the shape.
Know all 26 letters, capital and small, and say them in order from A to Z.
Watch it
Where it sits
Then practise
8 questions wait behind this lesson, each with its answer explained. Every answer feeds the sky: stars light as they are learned, and dim when it is time to come back.
