What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students write each capital and lowercase letter so another reader can recognize it. They use clear strokes, suitable size, and correct placement on the writing line.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Given a letter name, a student writes both forms without copying a model. The letters are recognizable, placed correctly on the line, and sized clearly.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may reverse letters such as b and d or p and q. They may make capital and lowercase forms the same size or start strokes in awkward places. Some draw letters as pictures instead of forming them with steady strokes.
How to Assess It
- Say five letter names that use straight, curved, and diagonal lines. Have students write the capital and lowercase form of each on lined paper.

Ways to Teach It
Give students playdough and alphabet cards, then have them roll and shape each letter before tracing it with a finger.
Display two handwritten versions of one letter and ask, “Which is easier to read, and what makes it clear?”
Play Letter Match: students draw a card, write its capital and lowercase forms, then compare them with an alphabet strip.
Give students sticky notes to label classroom objects, such as door, rug, and clock, using carefully formed letters.
