Ten rows of handwriting lines, each starting with a solid O to copy, followed by dotted copies to trace. How to form it: Start at the top and make one big round circle back to where you started. Say owl, orange and octopus together and listen for the sound of o at the start.

Trace slowly and start each stroke at the dot. Speed comes later; what matters now is starting in the right place and going the right way, because habits formed now stay. A short page every day works better than many pages once a week.
