How to use it

  1. Lowercase b: Undercurve up to the top line, loop back down to the baseline, then curve up into a small hump and finish with a short bridge stroke at the midline.
  2. Uppercase B: Start at the top with a straight line down, go back up, then make two bumps to the right, the second larger than the first.
  3. Trace the gray letters slowly, then write on your own in the blank row.

Good to know

  • b ends at the midline, so the next letter starts from a bridge at the midline, not the baseline.
  • Lowercase b belongs to the loop letters (e, l, h, k, b, f); teaching letters in these groups makes them easier to learn.
  • Practice words on the sheet: ball, bee, book. Say each word aloud while writing it, then check that every letter sits on the baseline.
  • Keep the paper slanted slightly and let the letters lean to the right.
  • Short, daily practice (5–10 minutes) works better than one long session; trace first, then write from memory in the blank row.
