list of 50 states and capitals in alphabetical order with abbreviation

Introduction

If you’re teaching U.S. geography and your students are having a hard time remembering all 50 states and their capitals, this resource was made to give them extra practice in a simple and clear way. I created this after noticing that many students recognize the names but still mix up capitals or forget abbreviations. So the goal here is just to give them a clear and organized reference they can come back to while studying.
