Tall, Small & Hanging Letters Handwriting Practice

Support early handwriting with this fun letter formation worksheet that helps children see how different lowercase letters sit on the line. Letters are grouped as TALL like a giraffe, SMALL like a hedgehog, and HANGING like a monkey’s tail, giving learners a clear visual hook to remember where each letter should start and finish.

The worksheet includes guided dotted letters on handwriting lines with a clear pink baseline, so children can trace each letter in the correct position before having a go on their own. It’s ideal for introducing or revising letter formation in EYFS and KS1, or for supporting children who need an extra reminder about letter size and placement.

How to use

• Print onto card stock or paper; laminate for reuse with whiteboard pens.
• Model how the giraffe, hedgehog and monkey letters sit on the line, then invite children to trace and write each one.

Use in whole-class teaching, fine motor/handwriting stations, small group interventions, or as a simple home practice sheet.
