About This Worksheet

Most picture books and signs use both capital and small letters, so children need to know that A and a are the same letter. Circling the right partner is the simplest way to practise that link.

Each page shows a capital letter with a few small-letter choices. Children say the letter, look carefully at the shapes and circle the one that matches.

Activities in This Set

  • Circle the small letter that matches each capital letter
  • Letter pairs across the alphabet
  • Look-alike letters to compare, such as b, d and p
  • Clear, uncluttered pages with one task each

Skills Your Child Practises

  • Uppercase and lowercase matching
  • Letter names
  • Visual discrimination
  • Pencil control

How to Use This Worksheet

  • Say the letter name aloud before circling.
  • Point out the shape differences between look-alike letters.
  • Do two or three pages at a time.
  • Find the same letter in a storybook afterwards.
  • Praise careful looking, not speed.
