Uppercase letters practice
A-Z Uppercase Lowercase Letter Tracing Worksheets
Learning the ABC and practice writing the alphabet is among the very first things that kids spend a lot of time with teachers and parents exploring, teaching and learning together. At this very early age, learning should be experienced through playing, practicing and repeating to make the whole process fun and easy for kids to absorb and remember.
In previous posts, I presented a lot of alphabet coloring pages to help kids recognize all the letters from A-Z through coloring activities with both uppercase and lowercase letters. In this post, I’m introducing to you series of alphabet manuscript tracing worksheets. Happy playing & learning!

Why We Love It
This letter matching worksheet is so much fun! Students will cut out the capital letters, mix them up, and then place them on top of the lowercase letter, matching them along the colorful rainbow in sequential order.
You can use it alongside our free Alphabet Arc, Letter Tracing Worksheets, and ABC Chart to help children master all 26 letters of the alphabet!
This will help children build automaticity in letter recognition. Children need to be able to quickly identify both uppercase and lowercase letters.
If you think about it, every proper noun, the word “I,” and every first word of a sentence will include a capital letter, so it’s important that letter recognition of both upper and lowercase letters become quick and effortless.
This activity is not only fun, but it intentionally targets foundational skills in alphabet and letter knowledge.
🌈 This worksheet is part of our popular rainbow-themed Alphabet Practice Worksheets, which comes with an alphabet strip, tracing arcs, and more uppercase and lowercase matching worksheets.
Using The Worksheets
This worksheet can be used in so many ways, including for letter identification, sequencing, upper and lowercase letter matching, and even letter sounds.
The most common use is for children to practice identifying and then matching all the lowercase and capital letters using the Alphabet Arc. But extend its use with these fun ideas:
- Letter Identification: Kids practice letter identification of both uppercase and lowercase letters, working to identify them quickly and effortlessly. If they need assistance, be sure an alphabet anchor chart is nearby.
- Sequencing: Kids need to learn that the 26 letters in the alphabet occur in a certain order, starting with the letter A all the way through Letter Z. We suggest teaching children to sequence the letters in ABC order, beginning with A and going all the way through Z. Kids should say each letter name as they sequence them.
- 1-1: When kids sing the ABC’s, they usually don’t make the connection that each letter name they sing has a corresponding written form (grapheme).
This worksheet is perfect to reinforce the correlation between the letter names and the written letter, both uppercase and lowercase. - Letter Sounds: Kids can touch the letters and make the sounds that each letter makes. Or, play a game with your class. Say, “Find the letter that says /m/”, then kids quickly place their finger on the letter M and say, “M says /m/.“
👉 It’s important to note that vowels are red and consonants are black. You’ll notice the capital i looks exactly like the lowercase L. This might be confusing for kids, so be sure to explain the similarities and differences between these letters!
👉 The red and black letters will also help reinforce the concept that the alphabet is made up of two types of letters: vowels and consonants.
Expert Tips & Info
- This worksheet is appropriate for children in preschool, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade who are learning or have learned to recognize both capital and lowercase letters.
- For long-term use, laminate the worksheet and letters. You can then use velcro dots placed above each lowercase letter and on the back of each uppercase letter. Store the cut-out letters in a ziplock baggie and use for morning work or a center activity. You’ll be able to use it year after year!
- We recommend printing at 8.5 x 11 or larger.

The Spelling Commission of the Russian Academy of Sciences dealt with the rules for the use of capital letters. As its chairman Aleksey Shmelev told the Pravmir.ru portal, it will now be possible to use capital letters according to more liberal laws.
"Capital letters are used in two cases. In one case, depending on the position in the text: at the beginning of a sentence, for many poets at the beginning of a line of poetry, sometimes headings are written in capital letters alone.
All of the above are quite simple cases," explained linguist - It happens that capital letters play a complex highlighting function in the text when proper names and any proper names are distinguished.
A capital letter certainly raises the status of what a word means in a sentence. And this is not a Soviet invention. In the 20th century, up to a certain point, it was recommended to write pronouns referring to members of the imperial family in all capital letters.
One of the examples that is given in reference books is to write the first word in compound names with a capital letter, and all the rest with a lowercase letter, if they are not proper names. Let's say the Moscow Pedagogical State University - Moscow with capital letters, and the rest with lower case letters. State Duma - State Duma with a capital, Duma with a small one. But there is, according to Shmelev, a serious argument in defense of capital letters: "In all documents of the State Duma, both words are written with a capital letter.
" Therefore, the head of the spelling commission said, "it was decided to make this rule more liberal and indicate that in some cases it is allowed to write two capital letters, our task is to specify the cases exactly. But in general it would be useful to take capital letters even more lightly." What cases were meant?
"In the rules of Russian spelling of Academician Grot (this is the second half of the 19th century), the rules for using a capital letter with an excretory function took up three and a half pages. In the new reference book, this is already 40 pages. And it would be necessary to formulate strict rules on 3.5 pages, deviation from which it is a mistake, and then give mild recommendations. Say, nouns in such solemn use as: Man, Motherland or Nature - can be written with a capital letter, although this is not necessary at all.
On the other hand, the commission's linguists admit that it is difficult to understand how a word should be written - with an uppercase or lowercase letter.
