Anyone work in primary school?

Do you teach lower case or capitals first? Or perhaps both same time? I’m getting my daughter a wooden alphabet puzzle for Xmas and wondering which one to get. Some are just capitals, some are just lower case and some hold both capitals and lower case on the puzzle! Thanks in advance 🩷

Lowercase. generally speaking you teach the lowercase letters as sounds for phonics before you introduce uppercase and the letter names :)

Lowercase. With the correct phonetic sound.

Thanks girls 🩷 can you point me in the right direction for correct phonic sounds? I’m not a pushy parent btw! She just loves learning and knows some letters already as she LOVES books 🥰 I’m a fossil and only know ABC’s like we were taught in school so would be good to know where I can look up the correct phonic sounds 😅 x

I taught my girl both ☺️ so letters and the phonics. she picked up quick that A says ‘ahh’ etc

See if you can find out which program your local area/school uses to teach phonics as there are a few different ones then look online and see if you can find resources for it or even YouTube videos :) my area uses Read Write Inc so that’s what I’ve started using with my 4 year old to keep it consistent for when she starts school :)
