Introduction

Begin by engaging students with a question: "Can you find all the lowercase letters?" Show sets of capital and lowercase letters mixed together. Emphasize that each letter has two forms, uppercase and lowercase.

Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling

Learn with an Example: Display mixed sets of uppercase and lowercase letters. Reinforce the key idea: "Each letter in the alphabet can be uppercase or lowercase." Point out the sets of uppercase and lowercase letters, emphasizing the distinction. Present the solution: "The lowercase letter is h. The letters W and K are uppercase."
