Common mistakes
What to watch for with I
-
Dot drawn as a circle
A circle above the line reads as a different letter. Tap the pencil once.
-
Starting at the bottom
The line starts at the mid line and goes down, like every ladder letter.
-
Capital I too short
Capital I is as tall as the other capitals: top line to base line.
