Letter placement - tips and advice

If a child struggles with letter placement on a line:

• Present lined paper that has two obvious guidelines within which the child must write, i.e.
  providing an upper and lower visual boundary for letter placement
• Ask the child to make sure that all letters are about the same size. When they are checking
  their work, letters that are consistently being written too large or small could be practised
  separately
• Recap on letter placement, i.e. which letters rest on the line, drop below the line or start
  above the line. Identify problem letters and practice using clearly lined paper
• For younger children – Sky/grass/soil paper can be helpful for this – most letter sit in the
  grass, some go up into the sky and some have roots in the soil.
