How P and p are drawn on this sheet
Capital P takes 2 strokes, each with a numbered dot where it starts. Stroke 1 starts on the top line at the left and pulls down; stroke 2 starts at the same point and slides right. Lowercase p has 2 strokes. Stroke 1 starts on the dashed midline at the left and pulls down; stroke 2 starts below the midline at the left and goes up and over to the right. Lowercase p drops below the baseline to the dotted line underneath. Below the first rows, dotted letters grow fainter row by row, down to one empty row at the end of the page.
Three examples
Capital P and lowercase p at the Ages 5-6 size in US school print, with stroke arrows. Capitals only, at the largest size (Ages 3-4). Lowercase only, in sloped print at the Ages 7+ size, on A4 paper. Capital P and lowercase p in cursive at the smaller Ages 7+ size, with numbered stroke arrows on the solid models.
Questions and answers
How many strokes are in P and p?
On this sheet capital P has 2 numbered and lowercase p has 2. Each number sits where its stroke starts, and the arrow shows which way it goes, in the order taught in US school print.
Can I print only capital P or only lowercase p?
Yes. Under Letters, choose Capitals or Lowercase. Every row of the sheet then uses that form.
What size is the letter P on the sheet?
There are three sizes. Capital letters are about 0.9 inch tall for Ages 3-4, 0.7 inch for Ages 5-6 and 0.55 inch for Ages 7+. On US Letter that gives 4, 5 or 7 rows to trace, plus the blank row.
Can I make letter P sheets for a whole class?
Yes. Under Class set, type up to 30 first names to get one PDF with a letter P page for each student, each with that student's name on it.
What are the lines on each row of the P sheet?
A solid top line, a dashed midline, a solid baseline and a dotted line below it for the letters that drop down, such as g, j, p, q and y.
