- 1When all letters are the same size, handwriting is hard to read. Children learn three sizes: tall, small and tail.
- 2Point to the lines each group touches. The middle dashed line is the top of the small letters.
- 3Afterwards, look at a page your child wrote and find one tall and one tail letter together.
Letters are drawn in Zaner-Bloser style, the same letter shapes as the LetterSchool app: LetterSchool’s own letters with the shapes, start points and stroke order children learn at school. Print on US Letter or A4; the PDF has no ads and no website headers.
