How to use this worksheet
- Begin each row at the small dot on the left and look at the solid model letter first.
- Write each letter with one pencil line running inside the dotted outline, like a car on a road.
- C and G start near the top right and curve round counterclockwise; G adds a short line going in. J goes down and hooks left. Z is across, slant down to the left, across.
What this worksheet teaches
C, G and J share a curve: C is the basic curve, G is C plus a short line, and J ends with a curve turned the other way. Z is the contrast, with only straight lines and two sharp turns. Together they train the counterclockwise curve of c, o, a, d, g and q and a clean stop at a corner. The four-line ruling, rows about 3 cm tall, shows that capitals fill the space from the top line to the baseline.
Play idea
Write the letters big in the air, then with a finger on the table, then on the sheet. Afterward hunt for C, G, J and Z on cereal boxes and point to where each one starts.
