About this sheet
What is on the page, and how to get the most out of it.
A dotted decorated egg to trace and colour, a dotted uppercase E below it, and the line E for Egg.
An E has more strokes than any other letter in this part of the alphabet: one vertical line and three horizontal bars, four separate movements with a pencil lift between each.
That sounds harder than it is. Every stroke is a straight line, and straight lines in vertical and horizontal directions are the two young hands manage first. What an E really tests is not control but sequencing, holding in mind that three bars are needed and keeping track of which ones are done.
Watch for bars of very different lengths, or a middle bar that drifts up or down. Neither matters much at this stage, but both tell you your child is working stroke by stroke rather than seeing the letter as a whole.
The egg is decorated with wavy bands, which gives some curved tracing to balance a letter made entirely of straight lines.
What your child practises
Four straight strokes with a pencil lift between each, which makes this a sequencing test more than a control one.
- Sequencing four separate strokes
- Keeping horizontal bars a similar length
- Lifting and repositioning three times
- Linking the letter E to the sound in egg
Common questions
My child forgets one of the bars on the E.
That is a sequencing slip rather than a control problem. Counting the bars out loud while tracing, one, two, three, usually fixes it faster than pointing at the mistake.
Is E hard because it has four strokes?
Not really. Every stroke is a straight line, which young hands manage early. The difficulty is remembering how many bars are needed and which are done.
