I like teaching the D’Nealian Style because it is easier to transition into cursive writing later.

Start with the Letter You Are Learning

  • Choose the letter you are working on

  • Practice both:

    • capital letter

    • lowercase letter

Practice 3–4 times for new letter you are introducing.

Keep it short and focused.

How to Teach Letter Writing

Build Skills Over Time

Each week:

  • Introduce one new letter

  • Practice previous letters one time

  • Practice the new letter 2–3 times

Focus mostly on lowercase letters
Capitals are important, but used less often in everyday writing.

Holding a pencil correctly is an important skill in these early years.
If your child is having trouble finding a comfortable, effective grip, a pencil grip can be very helpful. These are available at most teacher supply stores.

If you’re unable to find one, a limited number are also available in Mrs. Bee’s Shop.

Teaching Letter Formation

  • Show your child how to form each letter

  • Keep movements smooth and consistent

  • Use the same pattern each time
