About this chart
a to z on handwriting lines with green start dots, showing tall letters and tails.
What kids practice
Kindergartners learn to print every uppercase and lowercase letter and to match each big letter to its little partner. Starting each letter in the right place makes writing neater and faster later on.
Watch for
- Mixing up b and d, or p and q. This is very common at this age.
- Starting letters from the bottom.
- Writing every letter as a capital. Lowercase letters are most of what kids read.
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full uppercase and lowercase letters guide for kindergarten.
