HANDWRITING REFERENCE

Print alphabet: capital and small letters A–Z

Print alphabet with a lesson for each letter: where to start, which way to go, and how to tell look-alikes such as b and d, p and q, m and n apart.

HANDWRITING PRACTICE

Practice the print alphabet

Use the capital and small print models, then open a letter for its starting point, direction and a word to copy.

Choose a print letter

AaLetter A
Keep a’s right stem visible so the letter remains distinct from o.
BbLetter B
Write b d together: b has the tall stem on the left; d has it on the right.
CcLetter C
Compare c and o: c needs an opening, while o closes its bowl.
DdLetter D
Compare d with a: the body is similar, but d’s stem rises above the body band.
EeLetter E
Keep e’s internal bar distinct so it does not collapse into c.
FfLetter F
F has no bottom arm; compare it with E before adding extra strokes.
GgLetter G
This single-storey g has a hooked descender; compare it with a, which stops on the baseline.
HhLetter H
Compare h and n: h has a tall left stem; n begins at body height.
IiLetter I
The lowercase dot distinguishes i from an undotted short stroke.
JjLetter J
Compare i and j: only j continues beneath the baseline.
KkLetter K
Unlike h’s rounded shoulder, k separates into two diagonal arms.
LlLetter L
Compare l with i: l reaches the upper guide and has no dot.
MmLetter M
Compare m and n: m has two shoulders, while n has one.
NnLetter N
Write n u slowly: n arches across the top; u curves around the bottom.
OoLetter O
Compare o with a: o has a closed bowl without a separate right stem.
PpLetter P
Compare p with b: their bowls face right, but their stems extend in opposite vertical directions.
QqLetter Q
Write p q together and check which side of the stem holds each bowl.
RrLetter R
Compare capital P and R: R adds the diagonal lower leg.
SsLetter S
Compare S and 5 in context: S uses curves where 5 begins with a bar.
TtLetter T
Compare t with l: t carries a crossbar and its upper extension is shorter in this model.
UuLetter U
Compare u and v: u rounds the base while v meets at a point.
VvLetter V
Keep a point in v so it stays different from rounded u.
WwLetter W
Compare v and w: w contains two troughs rather than one.
XxLetter X
Keep four visible arms around the crossing so x does not resemble a single slash.
YyLetter Y
Compare v and y: y continues below the line; v ends at its low point.
ZzLetter Z
Compare z and 2: this z has straight bars and a diagonal rather than a curved top.

Read the guide lines

Capital height, lowercase body, tall stem and lower tail.

Ordinary small bodies sit above the baseline. Tall stems reach the upper band; g, j, p, q and y extend below the line. Use those different heights while keeping the letters in a word at a consistent scale.

Build a short print routine

  1. Choose one letter whose shape you want to clarify.
  2. Write its capital and small form slowly.
  3. Copy the two practice words from its lesson.
  4. Write a fresh word without the guide, then compare the result.
