LESSON 2

Letter Formation

---

How about a refresher in printing.

The mechanics of writing are important. How you hold your pen, how you form each letter, these are as important as how the words end up looking on the page.

• The 'a' 'q' 't' and 'y' are written with serifs because that is how they appear in most books.
• The 'f' and 't' are crossed in either direction depending on the writer's handedness -- left or right.

This preparation will take some time. Your child will slowly begin to understand how print works. When she or he is ready to begin more formal instruction, come back and begin the next lesson.
