Odd Letter Out: Capital Letters
Reviewed byEmily Harper
In each row of these worksheets, five capital letters are the same and one is different. Children circle the odd letter out. The pairs are chosen because they look alike, such as E and F, P and R, or M and W, so children have to look closely. There are three sheets, each with 12 rows and an answer key.

How to use the capital letter sheets
Start with Sheet 1 and do the first row together. Point to each letter, say its name, and ask which one looks different. Then let your child finish the rest of the rows.
Each sheet has the same kind of rows with new letter pairs, so you can use Sheet 2 and Sheet 3 on other days. The PDF with the answer key prints the student page first and the key second.
Why start with capital letters
Many children learn capital letters first because they are made of simple straight lines and curves. Telling apart letters like E and F, or O and Q, trains the careful looking that reading needs.
When capitals are easy, try the lowercase odd letter out sheets or the mixed circle the odd letter worksheet.
