This quiz looks at upper and lower case letters and is for the first term in Year 1 (KS1). It is important to learn both the upper and lower case letters and children should know how to form all the letters of the alphabet by the end of KS1 as set out in the National Curriculum.
This quiz involves identifying the upper and lower case letters and reminds them of their varying formation.
This activity will help their sentence level skills, as well as English and literacy, as they will be able to form the correct capital letter for the beginning of their sentence.
The English alphabet has 26 letters, sometimes we write them as upper case letters (ABC) and sometimes they are lower case letters (abc). When you start a sentence, you should always begin with an upper case letter. Your name will start with an upper case letter and the rest will be lower case. Test your knowledge on letters.
