About this resource

This file is a PDF. It is a Letter Hunt for the letter C. It can be used in Pre-school, Year 1, or homeschool.
Students can use crayon to colour in all the letter Cs or use dobbers. Once students colour in all the Cs the dots will reveal a "hidden letter C" in the Letter Hunt.

As extra practice students can write over the coloured dots to form the letter C.

Includes:

  1. Capital Letter C hunt

  2. Mix of both upper and lowercase letter C hunt

  3. Answer keys in colour

Enjoy!

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Pick out the letter C from a field of other letters

  • Recognise the capital C and the lowercase c as the same letter in two forms

  • See the shape the marked letters make once the whole grid has been searched

Teaching tips

  • Start with the capitals-only grid; the mixed grid asks a child to hold two letter forms in mind at once and is the harder of the two

  • In the mixed grid the lowercase c's make a second, smaller c inside the big one; pointing that out after marking rather than before keeps the discovery intact

  • The shaded answer key pages show the capital C's in one colour and the lowercase c's in another, so children can check their own sheet

Skills covered

  • Letter recognition - children scan a grid of mixed letters and mark only the C's, distinguishing them from letters like E, U, O and Q that share curved strokes.

  • Matching upper and lowercase - the first grid holds both C and c, and the header shows both forms, so a child must accept the two shapes as one letter.

  • Visual scanning - the grid is nine rows by nine columns with the target letters scattered along its edges and through its middle, which demands a systematic search.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How do the two grids differ?

By letter case. The first grid holds capital and lowercase C's together, and the lowercase ones form a smaller c inside the big shape. The second grid uses capital C's only in the same outer arrangement, which makes it the gentler starting point.

What happens on the page once every C is marked?

A large letter C appears. The target letters run along the top row, down the first column and along the bottom row, so the completed grid draws the letter it was hunting for - and any unmarked square leaves a visible gap in the shape.

What does a child need to mark the squares with?

Dobbers or crayons, as the cover page directs. Bingo dabbers, dot markers, stickers or coloured pencils all serve equally well - nothing about the grid depends on which is used.
