Cut and Paste Yo-Yo

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a letter sorting activity designed to help students distinguish between uppercase and lowercase “Y.” It features two large magnifying glasses, each with a square in the center; one contains an uppercase “Y” and the other a lowercase “y.” Below these magnifying glasses is a row of “Y”s in various cases, presented within dotted lines indicating that they are to be cut out. The task for students is to cut out these letters and paste them onto the correct magnifying glass, sorting them by case.

The worksheet teaches the concept of letter cases, specifically focusing on the letter “Y.” It reinforces the visual distinction between the uppercase and lowercase forms of the letter. By involving cutting and pasting, the activity also aids in the development of fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Moreover, the sorting aspect of the task introduces early categorization skills, which are fundamental in organizing information and concepts.
