Small Letter Matching Worksheet: Cut and Paste Fun!
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 recognize and match lowercase letters to their corresponding capital letters, a skill children need before they can read text that mixes both letter cases fluently. The cut-and-paste format adds fine motor practice, since children must precisely place a small paper letter next to its match.

How to use this worksheet
Cut out the small letters at the bottom of the page together, guiding your child's scissor hand if needed. Look at the capital letters on the cherries and say each one aloud.

Continue until every capital letter on the page has been matched with its lowercase pair.
