ESOL Ww/E1.2a

Form the letters of the alphabet using upper and lower case
(i) Understand when lower and upper case are generally used, e.g. lower case is used for general text, but upper case is used for the first letter of names, places and dates, and may also be used for emphasis or effect, as in an advert.
(ii) Space letters and words appropriately and proportion letters in relation to the line.

Editor's note
