How to use it

  1. Lowercase l: Undercurve up to the top line, make a loop, and come straight back down to the baseline.
  2. Uppercase L: Start below the top, loop up and around, come down, and finish with a small loop at the baseline.
  3. Trace the gray letters slowly, then write on your own in the blank row.

Good to know

  • l is the tall version of e.
  • Lowercase l 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: lion, leaf, lamp. 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.
