How to use it

  1. Lowercase o: Start at the midline, curve back and around to close an oval, then finish with a short bridge at the midline.
  2. Uppercase O: Start at the top, make a large oval counterclockwise and close it with a small loop at the top.
  3. Trace the gray letters slowly, then write on your own in the blank row.

Good to know

  • o ends at the midline, so the next letter starts from there.
  • Lowercase o 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: owl, otter, open. 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.
