Handwriting:

Upper Case A: Start at 2 o’clock and move counterclockwise. Complete the circle and come back down to the bottom. It’s the same as a lower case A.

Upper Case O: Start at 2 o’clock and move counterclockwise. Complete the circle and make a small loop in a counterclockwise direction.

Upper Case P: Start at the top of the sheet and make a straight line all the way to bottom. Without picking up your pencil, follow the line back to the top. Loop in a clockwise direction ending on the dotted line.

Upper Case B: Start at the top of the sheet and make a straight line all the way to the bottom. Without picking up your pencil, follow the line back to the top. Loop in a clockwise direction toughing the line at the middle, then loop in a clockwise direction making bigger loop touching the line at the bottom.

Upper Case N: Make a small loop at the top, in a clockwise direction. When you finish the loop, make a straight line to the bottom. Follow the line back up, but stop just before the top. Make a bump and go straight down to the bottom.

Upper Case M: Make a small loop at the top, in a clockwise direction. When you finish the loop, make a straight line to the bottom. Follow the line back up, but stop just before the top. Make a bump and go straight down to the bottom. Follow the line up again and stop just before the bump. Make a bump again and make another straight line to the bottom.

Upper Case R: Start at the top and make a straight line to the bottom. Follow the line back up and loop in a clockwise direction touching at the dotted line. Start to move in a clockwise direction again, but come out and down to the bottom.

Upper Case K: Make a small loop at the top, in a clockwise direction. When you finish the loop, make a straight line to the bottom. Pick up your pencil and start at the top again, but with a space from the other line. Make a diagonal line touching the straight line at the dotted line. Make a small clock-wise loop and move diagonally away from the straight line and stop at at the bottom.

Upper Case H: Make a small loop at the top, in a clockwise direction. When you finish the loop, make a straight line to the bottom. Pick up your pencil and make another line straight to the bottom (a little away from the other line). When you get to the bottom, follow the line back up to the middle and loop in a counter-clock wise direction. Touch the first line with the loop and come back to the second line. Finish in the middle.

Upper Case W: This is a tricky letter, so trace the letters before trying on your own. Make a small loop at the top, in a clockwise direction. When you finish the loop make a curved line as you head to the bottom of the page and slightly curve at the bottom. In a diagonal direction, make a line back up to the top line. Now move straight back to the bottom line. Finally, follow the line back up to the middle and curve away from the line.

Upper Case Z: This is a funny letter because it looks almost exactly like the number 2. Make a small loop the top, in a clockwise direction. When you finish the loop, form the letter just as you would the number 2 with a loop at the bottom in a clock-wise direction.

Upper Case L: Make a small loop at the top, in in a counter clockwise direction. Make a straight line to the bottom of the page. Loop in a clockwise direction and finish with a wavy line at the bottom.

Upper Case D: Start between the top and middle line with a loop in a clockwise direction. Once you reach the top of the line make a large clockwise loop to the bottom of the page. At the bottom, make a small counter-clockwise loop. When the loop is completed, draw a straight line up and stop before you reach the top.
