Valentine Monster Letter Recognition Activity

If your pre-readers are learning the ABC’s, they are sure to love this Valentine Monster Letter Recognition Activity!

It’s a fun, hands-on resource that will help your preschoolers and kindergarteners practice identifying capital and lowercase letters. 

Depending on your children’s letter knowledge, you can have them work on naming the capital or lowercase letters.

Or, you can mix the cards together and have them work on identifying both. You can also have your kids practice letter sounds. 

What Is Letter Recognition?

When your pre-readers can recognize the letters of the alphabet, they know all of the lowercase and capital letters by their shapes and names.

They can also distinguish between them too. Using hands-on activities like this one makes learning the ABC’s fun!
