  2. Follow the stroke order. Circle first, then a tail that hangs below the line.
  3. Write it independently. On the blank rows, copy the letter G without the dots, keeping it sitting on the red base line.

How do I teach my child to write the letter G?

Start on the dotted rows so your child can trace the full shape of G, saying the sound aloud — g is for goat. Circle first, then a tail that hangs below the line. Once they can trace it confidently, switch to the "solid example first" style and let them copy G on the blank guide lines.

What age do children learn to trace the letter G?
