Ages 3–4🔡 Lowercase letters

Curved lowercase letters c, o, a, e, s – ages 3–4

Five rows, each with one curved lowercase letter: c, o, a, e and s. All but s start at the dot on top and go counter-clockwise – one movement that later carries d, g and q as well. Each letter repeats five times in its row.

In the print dialog choose actual size (100 %) and black and white. Add a thick triangular crayon.

Why is this sheet for ages 3–4?

One counter-clockwise circle is the base of half the small alphabet.

  • Five curved letters, each one stroke from the dot.
  • Counter-clockwise direction – the same movement later writes d, g and q.
  • 20 mm tall, traced five times first, then written alone.

💬 Tip for parents

Try the movement in the air with the whole arm before doing it on paper. If the child circles clockwise, don't correct it out loud; turn the paper and try again, the direction settles within a few weeks. In e the horizontal bar comes first and the circle second – that surprises most adults too.
