  2. Follow the stroke order. Slant down to a point, then slant back up.
  3. Write it independently. On the blank rows, copy the letter V without the dots, keeping it sitting on the red base line.

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

Start on the dotted rows so your child can trace the full shape of V, saying the sound aloud — v is for van. Slant down to a point, then slant back up. Once they can trace it confidently, switch to the "solid example first" style and let them copy V on the blank guide lines.

What age do children learn to trace the letter V?
