Letter formation

  • Letter tracing, new Every letter starts at the top. The capital is tall; the small letter has its own size and its own home on the lines.
  • Printing letters Every letter has a shape and a home on the lines: tall letters touch the top, small letters live in the middle, and tails hang below.

Words and joins

  • Days of the week, new A day of the week is a name, so it always starts with a capital letter, even in the middle of a sentence.
  • Months of the year, new A month is a name, so it always starts with a capital letter, even in the middle of a sentence.
  • Name tracing generator, new Your name is the first word you learn to write. Start each letter at the top, and keep every letter sitting on the line.
  • Sentence tracing, new A telling sentence starts with a capital letter, has a space between every word, and ends with a period. Trace it, then write it yourself the same way.
