How S and s are drawn on this sheet
The numbered arrows on capital S show 1 stroke. Stroke 1 starts just below the top line at the right and curves up and back to the left. Lowercase s has 1 stroke. Stroke 1 starts below the midline at the right and curves up and back to the left. Lowercase s fits between the dashed midline and the baseline. After each model come two dotted copies, then rows of dotted letters that get lighter, and a blank row at the bottom.
Three examples
Capital S and lowercase s 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 S and lowercase s in cursive at the smaller Ages 7+ size, with numbered stroke arrows on the solid models.
Questions and answers
How many strokes are in S and s?
On this sheet capital S has 1 numbered and lowercase s has 1. 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 S or only lowercase s?
Yes. Under Letters, choose Capitals or Lowercase. Every row of the sheet then uses that form.
Will the letter S sheet print on A4 paper?
Yes. Under Options, choose US Letter or A4 before you download, and the rows are laid out for that paper.
Can I make letter S sheets for a whole class?
Yes. Under Class set, type up to 30 first names to get one PDF with a letter S page for each student, each with that student's name on it.
What are the lines on each row of the S 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.
