Why uppercase letters are often easier to start with visually
Uppercase letters are more visually uniform than lowercase ones — every capital letter sits on the same baseline and reaches the same height, without the ascenders and descenders that make lowercase letter placement trickier. That visual consistency is part of why some children find uppercase letters easier to trace confidently at first, even though lowercase is what they'll use far more often in everyday writing.
Capital letters are still essential to learn well, since every sentence, every proper name, and every name written formally starts with one.
Using this worksheet effectively
Since uppercase letters are used far less often than lowercase in ordinary text, keeping practice focused specifically on sentence-starting and name-starting contexts — rather than treating capitals as equally frequent — reflects how they're actually used in real writing.
