Questions
At what age should kids trace letters?
Many children start tracing letters around age 3 to 4 and write letters independently by 5 to 6, in kindergarten.
Uppercase or lowercase first?
Many programs start with uppercase because the letters are easier to form, then teach lowercase, which makes up most of what kids read and write.
