Cut & Sort – Letters

Quick Answer

Cut & Sort – Letters is a hands-on letter recognition activity designed to help children sort uppercase and lowercase letters. Each page includes sorting boxes for capital and lowercase letters, plus letter squares for students to cut, sort, and glue.

Description

Cut & Sort – Letters gives children a simple, effective way to practice recognizing the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters.

Each activity page includes two sorting boxes at the top, one for capital letters and one for lowercase letters. Students cut along the dotted line, trim out the letter squares, decide where each letter belongs, and glue the pieces into the correct box.

This resource works well for letter-of-the-week instruction, small group practice, literacy centers, independent work, or extra uppercase and lowercase review.

What’s Inside

Each page includes:

• Capital letter sorting box

• Lowercase letter sorting box

• 8 letter squares at the bottom of the page

• Dotted cutting line

• Cut, sort, and glue activity format

How to Use

Choose the letter page you want students to practice.

Have students cut along the dotted line and trim out each letter square.

Students look at each letter and decide whether it is uppercase or lowercase.

Then they glue each letter square into the correct sorting box.

Use the pages during small group instruction, literacy centers, letter-of-the-week work, morning tubs, independent practice, or send-home review.

Prep Tip

Print the page you want students to use and provide scissors and glue. For students who are still developing scissor skills, you can pre-cut the letter squares and have them focus on sorting and gluing first.

Physical materials such as scissors, glue, crayons, markers, or other classroom supplies are not included.
