Sample: bubble C and c. The numbers are the order of the strokes; the arrows show the direction.

How to write lowercase c

The small c takes one stroke, the same as the capital. Follow the numbers on the sheet:

1. Start near the top right of a small circle shape, curve round to the left, and finish at the bottom right. Keep it open on the right.

A common mistake with C and c

Children close the letter into an O. Stop the curve before it meets the start.

Letters that look like C

C is mixed up with O when it is closed, and with a backwards C when the stroke starts on the left. Always begin at the top right.

Words to trace that start with C

Once the letter feels easy, practise it in real words: cat, cup, cake, car and cloud. Type any of them into the generator and print bubble, dotted and blank rows, for example cat.

How to write capital C

  1. Start near the top right and curve up and round to the left, down, and finish near the bottom right. It is one stroke with no lifting.
