About this worksheet
Small g begins the way a and d do, with a ring. Find the start dot on the model, sitting just below the middle line on the right, and follow its arrow up and over to the left. The ring runs all the way around and closes where it began. Then, with the pencil still down, a straight line goes through the baseline, swings left on the bottom line and comes about halfway back up.
Most of the trouble is in the tail. Cut short at the baseline, it leaves something close to an a. Curled to the right, it turns the letter toward q, which ends on that side in this style. The ring matters too. Drawn the other way around it looks the same, but this start is shared with a, d and q, so one habit covers four letters. This is the same g that plain print uses.
Say goat, gate and grapes as the rows fill up. If the tail keeps stopping short, draw a small star on the bottom line for the pencil to reach.
How to use this sheet
Look at where the ring sits: between the middle line and the baseline, the same as a, with only the tail below. On the empty row a g often floats up until its tail ends on the baseline.
