About this worksheet
Sentences like "We played in the snow." to copy one letter per box, with boxes drawn with a dark outline.
What kids practice
Letter boxes, sometimes called shape boxes, give every letter its own box shaped like the letter. Small letters get a short box, tall letters and capitals a tall box, and tail letters a box that hangs below the line. They help kids whose letters are uneven in size or drift off the line, and they make a great warm-up for neat writing.
Watch for
- Making tall letters short. Tall letters and capitals touch the top of the box.
- Letting tails sit on the line. Tails hang down into the bottom of the box.
- Writing two letters in one box, or skipping the space between words.
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page. See the full letter boxes guide for 2nd grade.
