Week 1, lesson 2 Captain Capital matching activity - Phonics Phase 4 - Worksheet

In the second day of Week 1's activities, young learners are invited to embark on a phonics adventure with "Captain Capital," a worksheet designed to help them identify capital letters. The task is simple yet engaging: children are asked to assume the role of the captain in charge of boats that feature both uppercase and lowercase letters on their sails. Their mission is to use their colouring skills to highlight the sails that bear capital letters. This playful exercise not only reinforces their understanding of the difference between capital and lowercase letters but also allows them to practice letter recognition in a fun and interactive way.

The worksheet presents a fleet of boats, each with a letter on its sail. Among these letters are 'a', 't', 'I', 'i', 'A', 'T', 'n', 'N', 'M', 'm', and 'D'. It is up to the children to navigate through these letters and colour in the sails that have the capital letters. As they colour, they'll solidify their knowledge of which letters are uppercase—like 'I', 'A', 'T', 'N', 'M', and 'D'—and distinguish them from their lowercase counterparts. This activity from the "All Aboard Phonics - Phase 4 Teacher Manual" is an excellent way for children to practice capital letter recognition while taking command of their learning journey.
