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

Capital H
- Draw the left stem down from capital height to the baseline, then lift and draw the right stem downward.
- Lift again and join the stems with a horizontal middle bar.
Small h
- Draw the tall left stem downward to the baseline.
- Lift the pen, start on the stem near x-height, rise into one rounded shoulder, and descend to the baseline on the right.
Watch for this: A left stem only as tall as the shoulder makes the small h resemble n. Raise the left stem to ascender height while keeping the shoulder at x-height.

Practice h in words
Copy “hand” and “which”, leaving each letter separate. Circle the clearest h in the row and use its body size for your next attempt.
