How to form the letter I

  1. Trace the dotted letters. Place the pencil at the start of the first dotted I and trace over each one, following the handwriting guide lines.
  2. Follow the stroke order. Short stick down, then the dot floats on top.
  3. Write it independently. On the blank rows, copy the letter I without the dots, keeping it sitting on the red base line.

Saying the sound “i” as they trace (“i is for igloo”) links handwriting practice to phonics. When I is secure on its own, put it into a whole word on a handwriting practice sheet.

Letter I worksheet — frequently asked questions

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

Start on the dotted rows so your child can trace the full shape of I, saying the sound aloud — i is for igloo. Short stick down, then the dot floats on top. Once they can trace it confidently, switch to the "solid example first" style and let them copy I on the blank guide lines.

What age do children learn to trace the letter I?

Most children begin letter tracing between ages three and five, in preschool and kindergarten. Tracing I builds the fine-motor control and letter recognition that come before independent writing, so there is no need to rush.
