Resource: Recognising Upper and Lower Case
$7.00In this resource, we explore upper and lower case letters. Because we encounter many different fonts on the web and in printed matter, as well as in handwriting, it is important for students to get to know the look of a few common fonts, but also to appreciate the general pattern that a letter can look slightly (or even a quite a lot) different and still be the same letter (italics often confuse kids!). Digits 0-9 are also included as they too differ per font.
