What is this worksheet?

This is a printable English worksheet where children match capital letters to their small letter pairs, such as A to a and B to b. Through line-matching and circling activities it reinforces that each letter has two forms. It is ideal revision once children have practised writing both cases separately.

What Kids Practise in This Worksheet

This worksheet strengthens the link between uppercase and lowercase forms of every letter.

• Matching capital letters to small letters by drawing lines
• Circling the correct small letter for a given capital
• Recognising both forms of the same letter
• Focus on tricky pairs like A a, G g, Q q and R r
• Mixed-order questions to test true recognition

Why Matching Both Cases Matters

Children often learn capital and small letters separately and do not realise that A and a are the same letter. Matching activities bridge this gap. Once a child sees that every letter has a capital and a small form, reading becomes much easier because printed text mixes both.

This skill is a key step between learning the alphabet and beginning to read words.

How to Use This Worksheet

Print on A4 and let the child use a pencil to draw matching lines. For pairs that look very different, like G and g or R and r, point out both forms together. Say the letter name aloud during matching to reinforce recognition.

Repeat with letters in mixed order so the child recognises pairs rather than memorising position.
