- Show the child that the whole letter should fit on the stripe.
- Show the child how to use a finger to space the letters.
- If the child writes a letter that they are unhappy with, instead of erasing it, have them cross it out.
- Ask the child which of the letters in the row they think is the nicest. Have them circle that letter.
- Most lowercase letters fit on just the stripe.
- Later show that some letters have parts that go above the stripe, and some have parts that go below the stripe.
