Overview
The children will put V letter cards on a Velcro V as they recognize and name the uppercase letter V and the lowercase letter v.

Literacy Activities
Velcro V

• Write the uppercase letter V and the lowercase letter v on a whiteboard, name the letters, and have the children say the letter name as they write the V and v in the air with their fingers. 
• Attach one side of Velcro strips to a poster or whiteboard in the shape of a large V.
• Attach the other side of the Velcro strips to letter cards.
• Have the children choose one letter card one at a time.
• Help the children decide whether or not each letter is an uppercase V or a lowercase v.
  • If the letter is a V or a v, put it near the Velcro V.
  • If the letter is not a V or a v, place it in the discard pile.
  • If a child misidentifies a distractor letter as a V or a v, have him or her look at the V and v on the whiteboard and compare them to the letter he or she picked.
• Have the children attach the V letter cards to the Velcro V.
