- Ends v with a small tick that stays up on the middle line
About this worksheet
Look at the left end of the middle line for the start dot on the big v, and the small arrow pointing down from it. From there the pencil curves down and in to a rounded point on the baseline, then climbs more steeply to the middle line on the right. It finishes with a tick, a small dip to the right and back up to the middle line.
At four, v and u are easy to mix up, and the ending is the surest way to tell them apart on this page: u comes back down to the baseline, while v stays up on the middle line. If your child is taught plain print, the v they know has a sharp corner and no tick, and neither way is wrong. The curved way down is kinder to a small hand than a straight slant, which most children find hard until about five.
Ask your child to touch the baseline in one spot only, then look back along each finished row together for the v that does it best. Van, vase and violin begin with v, and its sound buzzes on the bottom lip.
How to use this sheet
Hold the paper still for the first row, because the turn at the bottom tends to drag the page around. A tick that comes out as a short flat dash is fine for now.
