How to use it
- Lowercase d: Make an a shape, then keep going up to the top line before coming straight back down and finishing with a tail.
- Uppercase D: Start at the top, come down to the baseline, loop at the bottom, then curve up and around to the top.
- Trace the gray letters slowly, then write on your own in the blank row.
Good to know
- Lowercase d joins at the baseline; capital D usually doesn't join.
- Lowercase d 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: dog, duck, door. 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.
