A capital letter above each box. Kids write its lowercase letter, like A to a. With an answer key.
What kids practice
Writing practice for the whole alphabet, a few letters at a time or all 26 at once. Each letter sits in its own box on handwriting lines, so kids can see where it starts and how big it should be. Some pages have letters to trace from a green starting dot, some have a model to copy, and some mix up the order, switch between capitals and lowercase, or mix in numbers.
Watch for
- Starting letters at the bottom. Most letters start at the top.
- Mixing up b and d, or p and q. Practice them on different days.
- Small letters stretching up to the top line. Small letters stay under the dashed line.
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full alphabet writing practice guide for 1st grade.
