How to write the letter A
Capital A: Slant a big line down to the left, slant a big line down to the right from the same top point, then a little line across the middle.
Lowercase a: Small circle back (counter-clockwise), then a little line down its right side.
Watch for: Starting the slants from two different points — both should leave from the same spot at the top.
Tips for teaching the letter A
Say the letter name and its sound before tracing ("A says a as in apple"). Have your child trace the gray letters with a finger first, then a crayon or thick pencil — fine-motor control comes before pencil grip. One page a day beats five pages once a week, and always end on a success.
