LET’S TRY ONE
Which lowercase letter is the partner of A?
a
A and a are two written forms of the same letter.
Learning steps & teaching tips
Match familiar capital and lowercase forms without requiring independent word reading.
- Name the letter separately from its sound. Model the printed pair; accept pointing and introduce different book fonts explicitly.
- Work through the example. Explain how its evidence supports the answer.
- Try a new question; use the explanation to check your thinking.
Try it together
Try a question with a partner. Before choosing, explain your idea; after choosing, compare it with the explanation.
