How to write the letter A
A for Apple! Here is how to write it step by step: where to start, which way to go and in what order, just as Lalo teaches it in the app.
Aa
Stroke order

The lowercase a
2 strokes: start from dot 1, then 2 and so on, following the arrows.
- Stroke 1: all the way round, back to the start
- Stroke 2: straight down
Try it: trace it with your finger
Start from the green dot and fill in the whole shape. It works with a finger on a phone or tablet, or with the mouse.
Well done!

Print it on A4 or Letter paper and trace it with a crayon: first the big shape, then the dotted lines.
For grown-ups
- One page a day is plenty: a little, with a smile.
- The black dot with a number shows where to start; the arrow shows which way the hand should move.
- First trace the big letter with a finger, then with a crayon. Then trace the dotted letters on the lines.
- The first letter of each line is the model to copy.
- Coloring the picture helps remember the sound: A for Apple!
- Use crayons or chunky pencils: markers may bleed through: slip a sheet under the page.
