How to use these worksheets
- Print at 100% scale on US Letter. Check "actual size" in the print dialog so the guide lines keep their spacing.
- Use a sharp pencil. Trace the dotted letters, starting at the first stroke of the model.
- When the dotted copies feel easy, cover the model and write the letter from memory on the blank lines.
- Keep sessions to ten or fifteen minutes. Stop when your letters start to drift.
