This quiz deals with Upper and Lower Case Letters. It will aid both handwriting and sentence level. Children need to know the alphabet by elementary school and also need to be able to form each letter correctly. This quiz helps children identify both upper and lower case letters and reminds them of their varying formation. Knowing the letters will also help their sentence level skills as they will be able to form the correct capital letter for the beginning of the sentence. In addition, recognizing upper and lower case letters will improve their English and literacy.

When we write, we use capital letters (ABC) and lower case letters (abc). Capital letters are bigger and sometimes look different to the lower case letters (Aa). We use capital letters for the beginning of sentences and your name. Your name will begin with one capital letter and all the other letters are lower case. Test your knowledge on letters.
