Handwriting similar letters x6 sets

What’s included?
This download includes x16 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting all lowercase letters. Letters have been grouped according to how they are written, there are x6 sets included in total.

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.

I designed this resource as I understand how common it is for some learners to become confused when writing certain letters especially when visually their shapes are similar. These resources should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these letters together.

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.

I have grouped these letters into the following sets -

• 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 two clear spaces to record the date at the top of the sheet. Either in full word-format or number-date format.

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