Capital partners
Match small letters with their capital partners.
For parents and teachers
Playing Capital partners
Choose a lower-case letter and then its capital partner. Match all six pairs, with no timer.
What this game practises
Recognising lower-case and capital partners supports choosing the right letter when writing. This is a letter-recognition game, not a tracing tool. After matching, write a pair on paper using the letter formation taught at school. A grown-up can help with starting points, pencil hold and comfortable movement.
Progress and trying again
The normal game controls let children finish, save stars on this device and play again. A previous best result is kept when a later attempt scores less. Matching games count incorrect pairs; ordering games score the first check of each round; sorting games give another chance after a mistake. Take time to talk about a choice rather than racing.
