This page pairs the letter E with the short e sound at the start of egg, elephant, and elbow. Uppercase E uses four straight strokes: one line down and three lines across. Lowercase e is quite different, a short line across the middle that curves up and around like a c. Your child traces both forms, writes them without dots, and then traces the word egg beside a picture to color.

For uppercase E, make the long line down first and then add the three arms from top to bottom. Children often add extra arms, so count them together: one, two, three. Lowercase e starts in the middle, not at the top, and that is the step most kids miss on the first try.
Easier: Do only the uppercase rows, since straight lines are easier than the curve in lowercase e. You can also print the page a little larger so the letters are bigger.
Harder: Have your child say egg, elephant, and envelope and listen for the same first sound. Then ask for a silly sentence with two short e words, like 'Ed has ten eggs.'
