How to form the letter E
- Trace the dotted letters. Place the pencil at the start of the first dotted E and trace over each one, following the handwriting guide lines.
- Follow the stroke order. Start with the middle line, then curve up and around.
- Write it independently. On the blank rows, copy the letter E without the dots, keeping it sitting on the red base line.
Saying the sound “e” as they trace (“e is for egg”) links handwriting practice to phonics. When E is secure on its own, put it into a whole word on a handwriting practice sheet.
Letter E worksheet — frequently asked questions
How do I teach my child to write the letter E?
Start on the dotted rows so your child can trace the full shape of E, saying the sound aloud — e is for egg. Start with the middle line, then curve up and around. Once they can trace it confidently, switch to the "solid example first" style and let them copy E on the blank guide lines.
What age do children learn to trace the letter E?
Most children begin letter tracing between ages three and five, in preschool and kindergarten. Tracing E builds the fine-motor control and letter recognition that come before independent writing, so there is no need to rush.
