What your child practices

  • Puts the pencil on the top line to start l, not on the baseline
  • Pulls one straight line down through the middle line
  • Rounds the foot of l into a small flick to the right
  • Makes l twice the height of a short letter such as i

About this worksheet

The big l at the top carries one start dot, on the top line, and an arrow pointing down. The pencil comes straight down through the middle line, rounds the bottom on the baseline and rises a little to the right. That small curl is the flick, and it is the only part of the letter that is not a straight line.

A bare line is hard to tell from capital I or the number 1, and plain print leaves l as exactly that. The flick is what this style adds, and it gives l a shape of its own. Two things go astray. Children who draw lines from the ground up will start on the baseline, and the flick tends to grow until the letter looks like capital L.

Ask your child to slide down like a firefighter on a pole and kick one foot out at the bottom. Leaf, lamp and ladder begin with l, and if you write out "lollipop" your child can find the letter three times.

How to use this sheet

Put a finished l beside an i from another day and ask what is different. Twice the height and no dot is the whole answer, and children like finding it themselves.
