What your child practices

  • Forms capital A from two slanting lines and a bar
  • Starts both slants at the top point, not on the baseline
  • Draws the bar so it touches both sides
  • Writes A unaided on the last row

About this worksheet

The big A at the top of the page carries three numbered dots. Two of them sit side by side at the peak, because both slanting lines begin there: one runs down to the left, the other down to the right. The third dot starts the short bar that ties them together.

Most first A's are drawn like a mountain, from the bottom up, and they look fine. The habit is what causes trouble later, since nearly every capital starts at the top. This page is a good place to set that rule early.

Trace the big letter with a finger before the pencil comes out. Apple, ant and astronaut all start with A, and naming one for each row keeps a small child going.

How to use this sheet

Let your child trace the big A with a finger first, saying "slide down, slide down, across". If the bar floats clear of the sides, ask them to draw it slowly from one line to the other.
