Why get the bundle
- Looking closely is learned by seeing letters in many contexts. Cards and games give children more chances to compare shapes without repeating the same page.
The problem
a and o look almost alike: same or different?
Telling letters apart is the first step to reading them. Some letters are close in shape, and preschoolers haven't yet learned which details matter.
Round letters
a and o, c and e, and n and h are close in shape. Children must notice the small difference.
Flipped letters
b, d, p, q use the same shape in a different direction. Young eyes often treat them as the same.
Scanning two things
The child compares two letters. That means looking at one, holding it, and looking at the other.
Each prompt shows two letters side by side and asks if they match. Some pairs are the same, some look alike, so children must look closely.

Say if two letters match
Look at two letters and tell whether they are the same or different.

- b and b are the same letter
- b and d are different letters
- c and c are the same letter
- c and e are different letters
- d and d are the same letter
Who it’s for
Built for the kitchen table and the classroom.
Parents & homeschool
Play a matching game with magnet letters: show two and ask 'same or different?'
Teachers
Use as a warm-up before letter naming, since seeing differences comes before knowing names.
Early learners
Fits children who can't name letters yet but can match shapes.
Questions
Before you buy.
Do children need to know letter names?
No. They only look and compare. It's a visual skill that helps later with names and sounds.
Is it hard?
Pairs with the same letter are easy. Look-alike pairs, like a and o, are harder, so there's a gentle climb.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 14 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
What if it isn’t right for us?
Email support@pencillane.com within 30 days and we refund the full $5. No form, no questions.
