This lowercase letter y formation worksheet teaches your child exactly how the small letter y is formed. At the top of the page, big solid letter y shapes break the letter into colourful strokes, with numbered steps, a dark dot showing where the pencil starts and open circles showing where it lifts. Below, row after row of tracing practice fades step by step from solid letters to light dotted guides, so your child builds the movement into memory, and the name box at the top is ready for their name.
