Knowing all letters
Recognise and name all uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet; name the letters in order and use letter names to distinguish between alternative spellings
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
Point to a letter, say its name, and find the matching uppercase or lowercase letter.
Choose 5 letters. Mix uppercase and lowercase cards, name each letter, and match the pairs. Add five more only when the first set feels easy.
Practice this concept
A short Gakuva activity you can use without signing in.
Matching letters practice
Match uppercase letters with their lowercase forms in a short, deterministic practice round.
Practice answers and completion are not saved. Parent observation remains the lesson record.

ABCs
Guided alphabet exposure and rehearsal with sounds, pictures, and songs; it does not independently assess naming letters.
Proof: After the activity, record an adult check in which the learner independently names sampled uppercase and lowercase letters and recites A–Z.
