How to write E
Start with a clear capital and small print form. Follow the ordered strokes, then copy the letter without tracing.

Capital E
- Start at the upper right, draw the top bar leftward, turn down the left stem, then turn right along the baseline.
- Lift the pen and draw the shorter middle bar from the stem toward the right.
Small e
- Start at the middle left and draw a short horizontal bar to the right.
- Without lifting, curve up and left around the small top, continue down and around the bottom, and finish on the lower right.
Watch for this: Omitting the middle bar makes the small e resemble c. Begin with the clear middle bar before rounding the top and lower curve.

Letter shapes, words and corrections
Write capital E
Draw a tall left stem with top and bottom arms, then add a shorter middle arm.
Write lowercase e
Begin with a short horizontal bar, curve up and around, then continue through the lower bowl.
Keep the form distinct
Keep e’s internal bar distinct so it does not collapse into c.
Practice e in words
Copy “every” and “letter”, leaving each letter separate. Circle the clearest e in the row and use its body size for your next attempt.
