Capital K, S, N and Y bring in diagonals and one big curve: four fully traced rows for children aged 5-6 who already manage straight-line letters.

How to use this worksheet
- Look at the solid model, then trace the dashed letters row by row.
- K and Y join slanted strokes at one point; N is a straight line, a slant down and a straight line up.
- S is the odd one out: a curve that changes direction in the middle, starting at the top right.
What this worksheet teaches
These letters test control of slanted lines and meeting points. In K two slants must touch the vertical stroke near the middle, in Y two slants meet before a straight line goes down, and N changes direction twice. S adds the reverse-curve movement, like a snake. Full tracing lets the child learn the exact meeting points and starting positions before trying these letters without help.
Play idea
Make the letters with your bodies: arms up in a Y, one arm and one leg out for K, a curvy S with the whole body. Then trace the matching row.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Where do the slants of K meet?
On the vertical line, about halfway down: the upper slant comes in and the lower one goes out.
My child writes S backwards. What helps?
Start at the top right and say "left, round, right, round", following the model at the start of the row.
Which sheet comes after this one?
The lowercase k, s, n, y sheet, where the tracing stops halfway along each row.
