How to write J and j

- Start at the top line and pull a straight line down, curving to the left at the bottom like a fishhook. Many styles finish with a short line across the top.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lowercase j drops below the line, which is new for many preschoolers, and both J and j end in a hook. The arrows on the trace-and-write pages show exactly where to curve. After tracing come a letter box for circling every J and j, a beginning sounds page with a jar, a jet, jam and a jug, and "J is for jar," where your child names pictures and traces Jj. Kindergarten adds a tracing page and a letter recognition page with a jaguar, and 1st grade a J word search. For extra review, try the mixed-letter matching pages. Older siblings can practice cursive J. Answer keys are included for several pages.
