Tips for practising Elizabeth

• Only the first letter, E, is a capital: it starts at the top line. The rest are lowercase.
• The tall letters l, b, t and h reach up to the top line, like the capital.
• a starts with the same round movement as c: begin near the top and go counterclockwise.
• Elizabeth is a long name. Try the small letter size so it fits on one line, or start with the first letter page.
• The dot on i or j comes last, after the line.
• For the very first tries, print the trace and fade page: the letters get lighter row by row until only the start dots are left.
