This easy worksheet introduces the difference between tall letters and short letters. Kids start by sorting six letters — b, a, h, c, l, e — into the Tall Letters and Short Letters categories. Then they finish five fill-in-the-blank sentences about reaching the top line, sitting in the middle space, and keeping letters on the baseline. A four-question true-or-false section checks whether they can spot which letters are tall and why spaces between words matter.
