What your child practices

  • Sets the pencil on the middle line to begin n, not above it
  • Climbs back up the line of n without lifting the pencil
  • Carries one arch over to the right and down to the baseline
  • Tells n from h by where the first line starts

About this worksheet

Small n begins on the middle line. The start dot on the model marks the spot and the arrow shows the way, down a short line to the baseline. The pencil then climbs that line again, and just past halfway up it leans out to the right and over. The arch touches the middle line, comes down the far side to the baseline and curls out in a flick.

Many children lift the pencil at the bottom of the short line and draw the arch as a separate piece, which leaves a gap in the letter. Others go all the way back to the top before turning and get a sharp corner. The climb is worth getting right here, because m, h and p in this style are built on the same move. In plain print the last line simply stops, so the flick may be new to you.

When the pencil lifts at the bottom of the line, "stay on the paper" is all you need to say. Nose, neck and nail are n words your child can point to on themselves.

How to use this sheet

Check where the first line begins: it belongs on the middle line, and one that starts any higher is on its way to becoming an h. Pencil in a small dot there for the first few if the starts creep up.
