How to write capital E

  1. Pull a straight line down from the top line to the baseline.
  2. Go back to the top and pull a line across to the right.
  3. Pull a shorter line across the middle.
  4. Pull a line across the bottom, the same length as the top.

How to write lowercase e

  1. Start in the middle of the space between the dashed line and the baseline. Pull a short line across to the right.
  2. Without lifting, curve up and around to the left, down, and finish on the right just above the baseline.

On the first line of each page, the numbers and arrows show the order and direction of each stroke, and the green dots show where the pencil goes down.

Words that start with e

egg, elf, end, elk, exit, elephant.

The third page traces egg, elf and end. Change it to any word you like, or to a name that starts with E; the name tracing worksheet generator repeats a name across every line.

Letters that start the same way

c, o, s curve around to the left like c. Practicing them together builds the same movement.

Questions

Where does lowercase e start?

In the middle, not at the top. Lowercase e begins with the short line across, then curves up and around like a c. Children who start at the top often end up with a c that has a line through it.

Should my child learn capital E or lowercase e first?

Most preschool programs start with capitals, which are built from straight lines and big curves, then move to lowercase in kindergarten. For writing their name, teach it the way school will: a capital first letter, then lowercase.

Can I print only lowercase e?

Yes. Delete the other lines in the box and keep just e. To fill a whole page with one row of each, type Ee on one line instead.
