How to use it

  1. Lowercase c: Start below the midline with a small hook, curve back and down around to the baseline, and finish with an upward tail.
  2. Uppercase C: Start at the top with a small loop, then make a large backward curve down to the baseline.
  3. Trace the gray letters slowly, then write on your own in the blank row.

Good to know

  • c joins at the baseline.
  • Lowercase c belongs to the downcurve letters (a, c, d, g, o, q); teaching letters in these groups makes them easier to learn.
  • Practice words on the sheet: cat, cake, cup. 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.
