How to write James, letter by letter

James has 5 letters and 8 strokes in all. On the worksheet each stroke starts at a green dot, and the first copy of the name numbers the strokes in this order:

  1. J 1 stroke. Start at the top line on the right, curve clockwise and stop below the middle.
  2. a 2 strokes. 1. Start just under the middle line on the right, curve counterclockwise and stop just above the bottom line. 2. Start on the dashed middle line on the right and pull straight down to the bottom line.
  3. m 3 strokes. 1. Start on the dashed middle line on the left and pull straight down to the bottom line. 2. Start just under the middle line on the left, curve clockwise and stop on the bottom line. 3. Start just under the middle line, curve clockwise and stop on the bottom line.
  4. e 1 stroke. Start just under the middle line on the left and go all the way round counterclockwise.
  5. s 1 stroke. Start just under the middle line on the right and slant down to the left to just above the bottom line.

Tips for practising James

  • Only the first letter, J, is a capital: it starts at the top line. The rest are lowercase.
  • a starts with the same round movement as c: begin near the top and go counterclockwise.
  • 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.
