Welcome to Letter Land! – Greet our little explorers – Embark on a letter treasure hunt – Find and match big letters (uppercase) to their little friends (lowercase) – Learn about uppercase & lowercase – Uppercase letters are big letters, lowercase are small – Match uppercase to lowercase – Practice with letters: F, I, J, L, M, T, Y | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-k students to the concept of uppercase and lowercase letters through an engaging letter treasure hunt activity. Begin by warmly greeting the students to make them excited about the day’s lesson. Explain that uppercase letters are ‘big’ and lowercase letters are ‘small,’ and that each big letter has a matching small friend. Use the letters F, I, J, L, M, T, Y as examples for the students to practice matching. For the treasure hunt, hide pairs of matching uppercase and lowercase letters around the classroom and have the students find and match them. This activity will help reinforce their understanding of the letter pairs in a fun and interactive way.

Meet the Letters! – Meet uppercase letters F, I, J, L, M, T, Y – Find their lowercase buddies – f, i, j, l, m, t, y are the small versions – Spot the differences – Some letters look alike, some don’t! – Match uppercase with lowercase – Draw lines to connect the matching pairs | This slide introduces the concept of uppercase and lowercase letters to Pre-K students. Start by showing the uppercase letters F, I, J, L, M, T, Y and their corresponding lowercase versions. Discuss how some letters look very similar in both forms, like ‘I’ and ‘i’, while others change more noticeably, like ‘F’ and ‘f’. Use visual aids to highlight the differences and similarities. Encourage the children to practice by matching each uppercase letter with its lowercase counterpart, either through drawing lines on a worksheet or using letter tiles. This activity will help them recognize the letters in different contexts and forms, which is essential for their reading and writing development.

Letter Buddies: Matching Uppercase and Lowercase – Match uppercase to lowercase – Find the lowercase friend for uppercase F, I, J, L, M, T, Y – Interactive examples with teacher – We’ll match letters together on the board – Two versions of each letter – Uppercase starts sentences, lowercase for the rest – Practice matching with fun activities – Games like ‘Letter Bingo’ or ‘Memory Match’ | This slide introduces the concept of uppercase and lowercase letters through a matching game, which helps Pre-k students recognize that each letter has two versions. Start by explaining the purpose of uppercase letters and when to use them. Then, engage the students with interactive matching examples, such as drawing lines from uppercase to lowercase letters on the board. Discuss the importance of recognizing both forms for reading and writing. For the activity, consider games like ‘Letter Bingo’ where students find lowercase letters that match the uppercase ones called out, or ‘Memory Match’ with cards to find letter pairs. These activities will reinforce their understanding in a playful and memorable way.

Encourage them to use their imagination and pretend their fingers are magnifying glasses to examine the details of each letter. Explain that uppercase letters, also known as capital letters, are usually bigger and taller than their lowercase counterparts. This activity will help students recognize and match uppercase and lowercase letters, which is an essential skill in early literacy. Prepare a set of flashcards with both uppercase and lowercase letters for the activity, and consider having magnifying glasses available for students to use.

Practice Time: Matching Uppercase and Lowercase Letters – Draw uppercase letters: F, I, J, L, M, T, Y – Practice makes perfect! Use a crayon or marker. – Write lowercase partners: f, i, j, l, m, t, y – Each uppercase letter has a special lowercase friend. – Share your letters with friends – Show your work and see if your friends can match them too! | This slide is for a class activity where students will practice writing the uppercase letters F, I, J, L, M, T, Y and their corresponding lowercase partners. Provide students with large, lined paper and writing tools suitable for their age, such as crayons or chunky pencils. Encourage them to take their time to draw each letter carefully. After they have written the letters, organize a sharing session where each student can display their work and the class can engage in a matching activity. This will reinforce their understanding of the relationship between uppercase and lowercase letters and provide an opportunity for peer learning.

Story Time: The Adventures of F and f – Listen to F and f’s adventure story – Spot uppercase and lowercase letters – Look for big F and small f in the book – Identify F and f’s letter friends – Who else do F and f meet? Maybe A, B, or C? – Discuss the story and letters – We’ll talk about the story and learn our letters | This slide introduces a story-based activity to help Pre-k students distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters, specifically focusing on the letters F, I, J, L, M, T, and Y. As you read the story aloud, encourage the children to listen carefully and identify when ‘F’ and ‘f’ are used. Pause at moments where these letters appear and ask the children to point out if it’s an uppercase ‘F’ or a lowercase ‘f’. Also, ask them to notice other letters that ‘F’ and ‘f’ meet during their adventure, reinforcing their understanding of the alphabet. After the story, have a discussion about the letters they found and the roles they played in the story. This will help solidify their recognition of uppercase and lowercase letters in a fun and engaging context.

Class Activity: Letter Crafting Fun! – Create uppercase & lowercase letters – Use craft materials like paper, glue, and glitter – Decorate your letters creatively – Give your letters fun colors and patterns – Display your crafts on ‘Letter Land’ – Show off your letter art for everyone to see | This activity is designed to help Pre-k students recognize and match uppercase and lowercase letters in a fun and creative way. Provide a variety of craft materials such as colored paper, fabric scraps, glue, glitter, and markers. Encourage the children to create both the uppercase and lowercase versions of the letters F, I, J, L, M, T, Y. Guide them to decorate their letters with unique colors, textures, and designs to give them personality. Once completed, have a ‘Letter Land’ area on the wall of the classroom where all the students can display their letter crafts. This will create a sense of accomplishment and allow for a colorful and educational display. Possible variations of the activity could include making letter puppets, creating a letter collage, or even a letter-themed scavenger hunt where students find objects that start with their chosen letters.

Review and Goodbye – Review our letter pairs – Match uppercase F, I, J, L, M, T, Y with lowercase – Sing the ‘Uppercase, Lowercase’ song – A fun song to remember letter forms – Wave goodbye to letters – Say farewell to the letters we’ve learned – See you next time! | As we conclude today’s lesson, it’s important to reinforce the learning by reviewing the uppercase and lowercase letter pairs. Engage the children by singing the ‘Uppercase, Lowercase’ song, which helps them remember the shapes and sounds of each letter.

Prepare for the next class by reminding them to practice at home and look forward to learning more letters. The goal is to create a fun and interactive environment that fosters love for learning letters.
