HOW DO YOU PRINT LOWER CASE LETTERS?
It is important when students begin to learn how to write lower case letters that they are taught the proper letter formation. Letters should always be started at the top when writing. These free printables includes the letter strokes and what order to form the letters.
View the printables to see the order of the letter strokes. For example, when you form the lower case letter, you write the straight line down first followed by the loop for the bottom of the letter b. For the lower case letter g, you form the loop first followed by the straight line down with the loop at the bottom.
