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 O

The sound it makes

Short "o" as in orange and octopus. The long "o" that says its name, as in open, comes later.

How the letter is formed

Start at two o'clock and go anticlockwise all the way round, back to where you began. One stroke, closed.

Words that start with O

owl orange octopus ocean olive

The one letter that is a single enclosed loop, which makes it the best sheet on the list for a child still learning to stay inside a line. Nothing to get wrong except the edge.

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 Oo 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 O with the guide lines in the right places.
