Print Concepts and Letter Knowledge

Kindergartners learn all 26 letters in capital and small form (including the tricky look-alikes b, d, p and q), put letters in alphabet order, and learn how print is built: letters make words, spaces separate words, and sentences start with a capital letter and end with an end mark. They also practise following print left to right and word by word.

  • 4 lessons
  • About 55 minutes
  • Letters and print check: 6 questions
  • Ways to answer: fill in the blanks, choose an answer, highlight a text, match pairs, type a number and put in order
