How to use the letter F page
The capital F and the small f stand side by side here. The capital is a tall line with two arms, one at the top and one in the middle. The small f is a tall line with a little hook at the top, like a walking stick, and one short line across. Color them both and let your child show you which one has the hook.
To write the capital, go down, then add the top arm and the middle arm. For the small f, start just right of the top, curve over to the left, go straight down, then cross it with a short line. The sound is soft air pushed out over the bottom lip: fan, foot, fork. Make a name game of it: take turns saying an F word, and blow out a long fff each time, like a fan.
Questions
Can I laminate the letter F page?
Yes. Once laminated, your child can trace the dotted rows with a dry-erase marker, wipe them clean and start again. It is a handy way to reuse one print many times.
How many letters should we do in a week?
There is no fixed rule, and schools vary. At home, one or two letters a week is a relaxed pace. Follow your child's interest: some weeks they want more, some weeks less.
Why does the small f have a hook?
The hook at the top is simply how the small f is drawn in most print styles. It helps tell it apart from the small t, which has a straight top and a cross line lower down.
