Why Lowercase Comes First in Reading
While uppercase is often taught first because its shapes are simpler, lowercase letters are what children actually encounter when reading books. These flashcards prioritize the letterforms children will see most frequently, building automatic recognition that directly transfers to reading fluency. Letters like b/d and p/q get special attention to prevent common reversals.
