Key learning points
- The capital letters A, H, K and T all start at the top tramline.
- The formation of capital letters A, H, K and T need you to lift your pencil to add the other lines.
Common misconception
The capital letter 'K' may look like a lowercase 'k' (without the loop).
Emphasise where the diagonal lines need to go to and model using the capital 'K' in words, such as 'Kevin' or 'Kick the ball!'.

Horizontal line - a straight line that goes from left to right or right to left
