How Q and q are drawn on this sheet
Capital Q has 2 strokes on its solid model. Stroke 1 starts on the top line in the middle and circles back to the left; stroke 2 starts below the midline right of center and slants down to the right. For lowercase q the arrows show 2 strokes. Stroke 1 starts on the dashed midline right of center and circles back to the left; stroke 2 starts on the dashed midline at the right and pulls down. Lowercase q is a circle back, then a stem that pulls straight down below the baseline. Lowercase q drops below the baseline to the dotted line underneath. Rows of dotted copies follow, each a shade lighter, and the last row has only guide lines.
Three examples
Capital Q and lowercase q 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.
