Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.

This resource has been designed to focus on the common confusion there can be for some learners when writing letters which are visually similar. This resource set should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these letters together, reinforcing the correct way of writing letters with similar shapes.

Resource details
The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100.

This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of where exactly to write.

Letters are grouped into these sets and colour-coded to avoid confusion once printed out -

• b d g p q (letters paired - b/d, g/p and g/q)
• c o a d g q (letters paired - c/o, a/d and g/q)
• l t i j (letters paired - l/t and i/j)
• r n m h k (letters paired - r/n, n/m and h/k)
• u y v w (letters paired - u/y and v/w)
• s f x z e (letters paired - s/f, x/z and e/z)

There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet and a clear space to record the number-date at the top, right.

All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.
