Lowercase Letter Tracing m to r on Three-Line Paper

This kindergarten lowercase letter tracing worksheet covers m to r on three-line paper. Five of these six letters sit entirely in the body between the dotted middle line and the baseline; the p and q are the exceptions, each dropping a straight tail below. The child traces the dashed models, follows the arrows for stroke order, and finishes each row by writing the letter alone in the empty slot.

This page holds the alphabet's second reversal pair. Where b and d confuse children at the top of the alphabet, p and q do the same at the bottom — one bowl, one tail, and only the direction to tell them apart. Having them on the same sheet, traced one after the other with the starting dot marked, is what turns a guess into a habit. The m and n are a pair of a different kind: the same arch, drawn once and then twice, so a child who can build one can build the other. The r is the odd one out and the one most often drawn too tall — it is a short letter with a small shoulder, no taller than the o beside it.

Every letter is shown in its school print form on real handwriting lines, so the shape practised here is the shape expected in a workbook. The sheet prints free as a PDF. It follows on from g to l, and s to z finishes the alphabet.
