English Alphabet for Kids: A to Z, Capital & Small Letters (Free Worksheet & Test) — FAQs
How many letters are there in the English alphabet?
There are 26 letters in the English alphabet, from A to Z. Each letter has a capital form (A, B, C) and a small form (a, b, c).
How can I help my child learn ABC order?
Practise "before, after and between" questions daily, for example: which letter comes after K? Which letter is between P and R? Singing the alphabet slowly while pointing to each letter also helps.
Why do children confuse b and d?
Small b and small d are mirror images, so many young children mix them up. Tracing them, saying "bat then ball" for b (line first, then circle), and lots of reading practice usually fixes it with time.
When do we use capital letters?
Use a capital letter to begin a sentence and for names of people and places, for example: My name is Neha. I live in Delhi.
