Lesson details
Key learning points
- A capital letter is the upper case formation of a letter.
- The letters B, D, P, R, I, E, F and L all start on the ascender line.
- The capital letters B, D, P, R and L are formed by one continuous movement and you do not need to lift your pencil.
- The letters B, D, P and R all make a vertical line down, go back up and around in a clockwise direction.
- The letters I, E and F need the pencil to be lifted to form the horizontal lines.
Common misconception
The height of the vertical line is sometimes too short or too tall.
Emphasise starting the vertical line on the ascender line and finishing on the baseline.
