How to use it

  1. Lowercase n: Overcurve up to the midline and make two humps down to the baseline.
  2. Uppercase N: Overcurve up and make two humps, the height of the top line.
  3. Trace the gray letters slowly, then write on your own in the blank row.

Good to know

  • n joins at the baseline.
  • Lowercase n belongs to the overcurve letters (n, m, v, x, y, z); teaching letters in these groups makes them easier to learn.
  • Practice words on the sheet: nest, nut, nose. 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.
