Missing Letters

The “Missing Letters” project challenges students to refine their letter recognition skills and deepen their understanding of different fonts. By selecting a worksheet featuring specific missing letters, students will draw in the absent characters and match the font style, fostering a connection between visual perception and letter forms.

Comparison and Analysis
