How to use it
- Lowercase p: Undercurve up to the midline, come straight down below the baseline, go back up, and make a small hump to the right.
- Uppercase P: A straight stroke down from the top, back up, and a bump to the right in the top half.
- Trace the gray letters slowly, then write on your own in the blank row.
Good to know
- p joins at the baseline.
- Lowercase p belongs to the undercurve letters (i, t, u, w, j, p, r, s); teaching letters in these groups makes them easier to learn.
- Practice words on the sheet: pig, pen, pie. 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.
