This worksheet is designed to help you practice writing the cursive letter
i. Since this is a handwriting exercise, there isn't one single "correct" answer like in math, but there is a correct way to form the letters.
Here is how to complete each section of the page:
1. Trace the letter:
* Look at the box in the top left corner. It shows the order of strokes:
*
Stroke 1: Start on the bottom line and make a small curve up (undercurve).
*
Stroke 2: Slant down and curve back up (like a 'u' shape), then lift your pencil.
*
Stroke 3: Put a dot above the letter.
* Follow the dotted lines for the large
i's and the smaller
i's. Make sure your pencil stays on the line.
2. Write the letter:
* On the blank lines provided, write the letter
i by yourself.
* Try to make them look like the ones you just traced. Remember to dot your
i's!
3. Write the letter and the joinings:
* This part practices connecting the letter
i to other letters.
*
First row: You are practicing starting with an
i and connecting it forward. The tail of the
i should flow into the next imaginary letter.
*
Second row: You are practicing the combination
ii (two i's in a row).
* Write the first
i.
* Instead of lifting your pencil completely, let the end of the first
i flow directly into the start of the second
i.
* Dot both letters.
Tips for success:
* Keep your paper tilted slightly if that helps you write smoother curves.
* Make sure your dots are high enough so they don't touch the body of the letter.
* Keep your letters sitting neatly on the bottom line.
Final Answer:
To complete this assignment, you must trace the dotted cursive letter
i, write independent cursive
i's on the blank lines, and practice writing connected pairs of
ii as shown in the instructions. Ensure you follow the 3-step stroke order: undercurve, slant/loop/lift, and dot.
