How the lesson starts: Print Uppercase and Lowercase Letters

Mama letters, baby letters
Quack! This is Dot the duck. Welcome to Dot's pond! Every capital letter is a mama duck. Every small letter is her duckling. Each duckling must swim to its mama. Let's help Dot!
Twins and not twins
Some ducklings look just like mama, only smaller. C, O, S, W and Z! Some look very different. A, B, G, R and E. Those take practice!
Let's match three
Three mamas, three ducklings. Big E goes with little E. It is round, with a little line. Big H goes with little H. It has a tall stick and a hump. Big R goes with little R. A stick with a little arm. Swim, ducklings!
