By seeing the blue line for the sky and the green line for the ground, kids can see and understand the size differences in letters.

• Tall letters that reach the top lines are the ones that start at the sky or the blue line.

• The small letters (a, c, o, r, etc) are letters that reach the middle line but should not go up into the sky.

• And tail letters (j, g, p, etc) have a tail that goes down under the ground.

When helping kids use this paper, add verbal prompts such as:

• “Start the tall letters in the sky.”

• “Short letters start in the middle but they don’t go underground.”

• “Make your “G” by starting in the sky and curving around to the ground. Add a line in the middle.”

• “Tail letters hang down underground.”

• “Make your “t” start in the sky and pull down to the ground."

This technique is great for the visual learner!
