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

Capital K
- Draw the tall left stem downward to the baseline.
- Lift the pen, draw diagonally down-left from the upper right to the stem's middle, then diagonally down-right to the baseline.
Small k
- Draw the tall left stem downward to the baseline.
- Lift the pen, draw from the upper right of the small body to one junction on the stem, then continue diagonally down-right to the baseline.
Watch for this: Attaching the two arms at separate heights leaves a broken-looking small k. Bring both diagonal arms to the same clear junction on the tall stem.

Letter shapes, words and corrections
Write capital K
Draw a tall left stem. Meet it with an upper diagonal and continue with a lower diagonal toward the right.
Write lowercase k
Use a tall stem and two shorter diagonal arms within the body band.
Keep the form distinct
Unlike h’s rounded shoulder, k separates into two diagonal arms.
Practice k in words
Copy “keep” and “making”, leaving each letter separate. Circle the clearest k in the row and use its body size for your next attempt.
