How to write P and p
Capital P: pull the line down, then go back to the top and add a bump that stops at the midline. Lowercase p starts at the midline and goes down past the baseline to the bottom of the space below. Then lift and make a circle on the right, clockwise, touching the stick.
The P sound
P is the quiet partner of b: lips together and a pop of air, with no voice. Hold a tissue in front of the mouth while saying "p-p-pig" and watch it move.
Words to say and draw: pig, pen, pan, pear, penguin.
What's on the sheet
The first P and the first p are solid, with numbered dots and arrows showing where each stroke starts and which way it goes. The rest of each row is dotted for tracing. Next comes a row of p words to trace, then an empty row for writing P and p alone. Choose Large for Pre-K or Medium for kindergarten, or switch to uppercase or lowercase only.
Activity idea
Draw a big pizza and cut out paper toppings, each with a letter on it. Your child adds only the P and p toppings to the pizza.
