Shape Spotters: Odd Letter Shape Visual Discrimination for Grade KG 

This Kindergarten worksheet is designed to help young learners visually differentiate between similar-looking letters such as **b, d, p, and q**. Through observation-based activities, children learn to spot the odd letter shape, strengthening visual discrimination skills that are essential for accurate reading and writing at an early stage. 

Why Learning Odd Letter Shapes Matters in Early Literacy? 

1. It helps children clearly distinguish between mirror-image letters like b/d and p/q. 
2. It reduces common letter-reversal errors in early writing. 
3. It strengthens visual memory and attention to detail. 
4. It builds a strong foundation for confident reading and spelling.

📋 Exercise 3 – Sentence Writing Using Similar Letters 
Children write simple sentences using pairs of similar-looking letters (b & d, p & q, b & p, d & q, etc.), helping them apply visual discrimination in context.
