In L1, I lay out the essential rules and guidelines for our penmanship class, ensuring that everyone understands what is needed for effective participation. We cover and practice firm pencil grasp and appropriate body posture. Following this, I introduce the lowercase letter starters: c, o, a, d, g, and q. This course employs a "I do, you do" approach to help students become skilled writers. Learners will begin by tracing letters in the sand before transferring to their paper or white board. 

 L2 introduces the letters e, f, s, and z, which are written in an anticlockwise direction. At the start of the lesson, I demonstrate the concept of moving anticlockwise and guide students on how to position their paper for optimal writing stability. In this lesson, learners will begin by tracing in the sand, then transition to using their lined whiteboards or the supplied white paper. This lesson further enhances hand-eye coordination and highlights the hand movements involved in writing. 

 In L3, we explore the diagonal letters: v, w, x, and y. Each lesson begins with a specific expectation. After I present the material, students will trace and write on their whiteboards or paper. It's beneficial for them to practice tracing and printing as many letters as possible. By the end of this lesson, they will have a solid control of their pencils, which will improve their writing fluidity. 

 During L4, we explore the tall letters: l, k, b, t, and h. I guide students through the starting points and formation of each letter. As they continue to practice, learners will trace and print with clarity and strength, building on their existing skills.
