Trying to teach kids letters, upper and lower case, real head-scratcher. Got pages after pages but ain't sticking. Kids mix 'em up, forget 'em fast. Need something hands-on, printable. Something to make those letters stick in their heads, both big and small ones.
We've put together a set of printable sheets that include both uppercase and lowercase letters. These can help anyone learn the differences and practice handwriting. Each letter is designed to stand out, making it easy to recognize and trace for learners. Good for beginners to enhance their writing and recognition skills.
The terms "uppercase" and "lowercase" originated from the early days of printing, specifically from the use of moveable type in the printing press. In the printing process, individual metal blocks or type pieces with raised letters were arranged to form words and sentences.
The terms "upper case" and "lower case" refer to the physical cases or compartments used to store these metal-type pieces. Printers organized their type collections in trays or cases with separate compartments for the different letters. The larger, capital letters were stored in the upper case, which was positioned above the lower case that held the smaller, lowercase letters.
The uppercase letters were less frequently used in comparison to the more common lowercase letters, hence their placement in the uppercase. The lowercase letters were used more frequently in everyday writing and were stored in the lowercase for easy access.
