f for flamingo: a downstroke and crossing line
Colour the flamingo and listen to the air in its first sound. A separate crossing stroke completes the lowercase f model; tracing and a few attempts come before optional word copying.

A quick printing tip
Use portrait orientation and the same paper size in your printer settings. The PDF includes a white margin so the drawing stays inside the sheet.
With an adult
Rest your upper teeth lightly near your lower lip and let air flow for f, as at the start of flamingo.
Curve into the long downstroke towards the flamingo's foot. Lift your pencil and add the short line across its wings.
Whole-word copying is optional. Model one movement and stop whenever a break would help.
