How to write the letter Z
Capital Z: Little line across the top, big slant down to the bottom-left corner, little line across the bottom.
Lowercase z: The same zigzag at half size.
Watch for: Reversals — Z and S are the two letters mirror-writers flip most.
Tips for teaching the letter Z
Say the letter name and its sound before tracing ("Z says z as in zebra"). 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.
