INSTRUCTIONS
1
Cut different shapes and figures (for example: egg, heart, square, flower) out of a piece of paper or foam.
2
Cut each shape in half differently.
3
On one half of the shape, write the uppercase form of a letter (A). Write the lowercase form of the letter (a) on the other half.
4
Paste one half of each shape onto a separate piece of paper. Be sure to leave room for the corresponding half.
5
Have your child match the uppercase letters with the correct lowercase letters.

TIPS- Improve your child’s phonemic awareness by focusing on individual letters, naming different words that start with that letter. Isolate the repeated, common sound for each individual word.
