Teach uppercase and lowercase formation
Teach the shape of a letter before asking for a full row. The printable models use one simple print style, with numbered strokes and start dots; school handwriting styles can differ.
Worked example
For A, follow the first sloping stroke to form the sides, then add the crossbar. Compare A with a: they share a name but have different shapes. Trace one example, cover it and try one without tracing. Say a familiar word that contains the letter.
Try it step by step
- Follow the Line
Follow the path with your finger or a brush.
A useful hint
Use the model that matches the child's school. The Spanish N pack also includes Ñ; the Portuguese C pack includes Ç.
