How to use it

  1. Lowercase w: Undercurve up and down twice like a u, then finish with a short bridge stroke at the midline.
  2. Uppercase W: Like a large w with a curved start at the top.
  3. Trace the gray letters slowly, then write on your own in the blank row.

Good to know

  • w ends with a bridge at the midline, so the next letter starts there.
  • Lowercase w 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: web, wind, wolf. 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.
