Teaching your preschooler the difference between lower case and upper case can be a little difficult. You can go to a website that has prints of the upper and lower case letters of the alphabet. You can also write them out on sheets of paper if you prefer. Attach all of the upper or lower case letters to your preschooler's wall with small tape strips and then hold a letter up and ask your preschooler to find its lower or upper case partner.
