About this resource

Letter C Capital and Lowercase Letter Sorting Activity Students practice letter recognition and distinguishing between uppercase and lowercase letters with this caterpillar-themed letter C sorting activity. Suitable for preschool and kindergarten students learning letter C, this activity builds skills through independent or paired sorting of letter cards to correct mats. Included are one uppercase and one lowercase letter sorting mat and 12 uppercase and 12 lowercase letter C cards. Educators can implement this versatile low-prep activity in literacy and sorting centres, as a fine motor or small group exercise, or in morning tubs and trays. Assessment focuses on letter recognition, capitalization, and sorting abilities. Detailed instructions provide suggestions for using file folders or baking trays to play. Simply print, cut out cards, and laminate for repeated use building early literacy abilities.
