About this worksheet

Six capitals, no curves anywhere: E, F, H, I, L and T. Every one is made from the standing and sleeping lines practiced on the pre-writing pages, which makes this the natural first letter-writing sheet even though it is not the first alphabetically.

Grouping letters by movement rather than by alphabet order is how handwriting is usually taught, and the reason is practical: a child who has just drawn the stem of an L already has most of a T and an I. Alphabetical order scatters that overlap, so every letter feels new.

L and I are usually immediate. E is the one to watch — three bars at even spacing is harder than it looks, and bars that drift together are the most common wobble on this page.

How to use this sheet

If your child has done the pre-writing pages, point out that they already know these moves — recognizing that a letter is made of strokes they can do is worth more than any amount of extra tracing.
