This page works on F and the /f/ sound in fish, fox, feather, and frog. Your child traces uppercase F, one line down with two arms that both point right, and lowercase f, which curls over at the top like a cane and has a short cross on the dotted line. After writing a few alone, your child traces fish beside a picture to color. The /f/ sound can be stretched out, which makes it a great one for hearing first sounds.

Short descriptions in our own words. About our standards.
Show your child how to make the /f/ sound by resting the top teeth on the bottom lip and blowing gently. Uppercase F looks like E without the bottom arm, and some children add that third arm out of habit, so compare the two side by side. The cross on lowercase f goes on the dotted middle line.
Easier: Trace only uppercase F, which uses straight lines. Have your child blow on a feather or a scrap of paper while saying /f/ to feel the air move.
Harder: Play a quick game: say a word and your child gives a thumbs-up if it starts with /f/, as in fan, fork, or five, and a thumbs-down if it does not.
