l for lollipop: a long downward movement
A lollipop picture introduces lowercase l's tall downward movement. An adult can say the first sound and model the stroke before tracing; the longer picture word is optional to copy.
Lowercase l · Colour, say and write
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
Touch your tongue just behind your upper teeth for l, as at the start of lollipop.
Begin at the top of the lollipop stick and bring the long stroke down to the writing line.
Whole-word copying is optional. Model one movement and stop whenever a break would help.
Try this with the picture
Colour the lollipop. Start high and trace l downwards.
