For example, in the uppercase A – there are two leaning lines and a sleeping line. There are three basic straight lines used: a sleeping line (horizonal), a standing line (vertical) and a leaning line (diagonal). Next, we become “Letter Detectives.” We determine what kinds of lines are in the uppercase letters and the lowercase letters. We count how many uppercase A's do we have? How many lowercase a's do we have? I use a large tag board to write this down – writing the featured letter in red and the other letters in black. I asked each child, “Do you have any a's in your name?” If the answer was yes, I asked, “Uppercase or lowercase?” This really helps the children distinguish between uppercase and lowercase. In my school, the kindergarten reviews the alphabet one letter a day (we started reviewing today). I am posting some of my first alphabet activities of the school year.
