How to write capital Q

  1. Start at the top line in the middle and make a large circle, around to the left, closing at the top.
  2. Add a short slanted tail across the bottom right of the circle.

How to write lowercase q

  1. Start just under the dashed line on the right and make a circle, around to the left, as for a.
  2. Pull a straight line down the right side, from the dashed line to below 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 q

quiz, quack, quilt, queen, quick, quiet.

The third page traces quiz, quack and quilt. Change it to any word you like, or to a name that starts with Q; the name tracing worksheet generator repeats a name across every line.

Letters that start the same way

a, c, d, g, o start with the same circle. Practicing them together builds the same movement.

Questions

Why does q almost always come with u?

In English words, q is nearly always followed by u, so qu is worth practicing as a pair. The words in the box on this page all start with qu.

Should my child learn capital Q or lowercase q 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 q?

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