Uppercase Letter Tracing A-Z — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. Which uppercase letter is made with only one straight line?
A) T
B) I
C) L
D) A
Hint: think of the simplest letter you could possibly draw. Capital I is just one tall vertical stroke — the quickest and easiest letter of them all.
2. Which letter comes right before P in the alphabet?
A) Q
B) N
C) O
D) R
Sing "N, O, P, Q" and you'll hear O right before P. O is the fifteenth letter and P is the sixteenth — and they look quite similar, since P is basically an O with a line added.
3. Which uppercase letter has exactly one curved and one straight part?
A) O
B) E
C) D
D) Z
Capital D is drawn with one straight vertical line on the left and one big curve on the right that connects top to bottom. It's the only letter built from exactly these two parts.
4. What is the 20th letter of the alphabet?
A) S
B) T
C) U
D) R
Count by tens to make this easier: A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J gets you to 10, then K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T reaches 20. The twentieth finger lands on T.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. The uppercase letter A has two slanted lines meeting at the top.
The uppercase letter A is made of two slanted lines that meet at a point at the top, with a horizontal bar across the middle. No other capital letter has that exact shape.
2. The letter before G is F.
Sing "E, F, G, H" and you'll hear F right before G. F is the sixth letter — it's like an E with the bottom crossbar erased.
3. The letter M is the 13th letter of the alphabet.
Counting A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M shows M landing on thirteen. M is right in the middle of the alphabet — the pivot point between the first and second halves.
4. Both uppercase Y and K have slanted lines.
Look at Y — it has a V on top with a line going straight down. Like K, it uses slanted lines that meet a straight line, making Y and K shape-cousins.
5. The word Umbrella starts with uppercase letter U.
Say umbrella slowly and you'll hear the short /uh/ sound at the start, spelled with the letter U. Umbrella names a thing that pops open over your head to block rain.
