Choose a few letters and compare their features: a line, a curve or a closed shape. Treat uppercase and lowercase as related but distinct forms.
Choose a few letters and compare their features: a line, a curve or a closed shape. Treat uppercase and lowercase as related but distinct forms. Practice M and m, for example, before writing a word containing them.
Check orientation, baseline and spacing. If the model’s a or g differs from the form being learned, use one consistent model throughout the session.
Look at a letter, trace it, then copy it into an empty space. Compare its height, orientation and spacing, choosing one detail to adjust on the next attempt. A carefully written, readable word is more useful than filling lines without referring to the model.
