Characters: E T I U — trace, then write on your own
How to use this worksheet
- Trace the model and the dashed letters, then carry on in the empty part of the row.
- E, T and I are made only of straight lines; U is two straight strokes joined by a curve at the bottom.
- Keep every letter between the top line and the baseline.
What this worksheet teaches
E, T and I are straight-line letters, so they are a good place to try writing without help: the child can focus on stroke order and size instead of difficult curves. E needs one vertical line and three horizontal ones of the right length, T needs its crossbar centered, and I is a single stroke. U adds one curve and checks whether both sides stay parallel. The half-traced rows show whether the letters keep their size when the dashes end.
Variation to try
When the sheet is done, ask your child to write the word TIE on the back, using three of the four letters.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
In what order should E be written?
A common order: down the left side first, then the three lines across from left to right, top, middle and bottom.
The free letters are bigger than the dashed ones. What helps?
Point to the top line and the baseline before each letter; the letter touches both and goes no further.
Is U a straight-line letter too?
Not quite. It has a curve at the bottom, which makes it a good bridge to letters like J and D.
