Great job!

Tip: print the capital and lowercase together while a child is learning that they are the same letter. Switch to one at a time once that has landed.

Teaching the Letter E

The sound it makes

Short "e" as in egg and elephant. It is the vowel children confuse with short "i" most often.

How the letter is formed

A horizontal line across the middle first, then the curve up, over and round to the bottom. It is the only letter that begins with a sideways stroke.

Words that start with E

egg elephant engine elbow envelope

The capital E is three parallel bars and a spine: four long thin areas. Thick outlines make it far less fiddly for a small child, so switch the thickness up for this one.

Colouring a letter is not handwriting practice, and it is not meant to be. What it does is buy time: a child spends ten quiet minutes with the shape of Ee in front of them and comes away recognising it, which is the step that has to happen before a pencil is any use. When they are ready to form the letter themselves, the handwriting worksheet generator builds a tracing sheet for E with the guide lines in the right places.
