How to use it
- Lowercase u: Undercurve up to the midline, down, undercurve up again, and down with a tail.
- Uppercase U: Like a large u that starts with a small curve at the top.
- Trace the gray letters slowly, then write on your own in the blank row.
Good to know
- u joins at the baseline.
- Lowercase u 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: up, umbrella, use. 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.
