- **Visual Aid:** Show students the alphabet flashcards, emphasizing the difference between capital and small letters.
#### 2. **Recognition Activity (10 minutes)**
- **Flashcard Activity:** Hold up a flashcard one at a time and ask students to confirm whether it is a capital or small letter.

#### 4. **Association Activity (5 minutes)**

#### 5. **Closure (5 minutes)**
- **Recap:** Go over what they learned. Ask a few students to show their worksheets and share their favorite letter they practiced.
- **Homework:** Encourage students to find objects at home that start with one of the letters and bring a picture or the object to the next class.
#### 6. **Extension (Optional)**
