Do you know how to teach Alphabets to Kids

I have come across an interesting post about how to teach alphabets to Kids. Hence adding this info to my blog.


Most children are taught to write the alphabet in chronological order, ABC…etc. But try this different approach. Progress from the simplest to the most complex characters. I hope you find this method of teaching profitable.


This order is recommended by handwriting for kids because it progresses from easy to hard in terms of letter formation.


  • First, practice writing characters which contain vertical and horizontal strokes, the E, F, H, I, L and T.
  • Second, move on to characters formed only by diagonal strokes, the V, W, and X.
  • Third, practice the characters having vertical and diagonal strokes only, the K, M, N and Y.
  • Fouth, practice the character having horizontal and a diagonal stroke only, the A, and Z. 
  • Fifth, practice the simplest of characters formed by circular strokes, the C and O.
  • Sixth, do the G and Q. They are only a C and O with a tails on.
  • Seventh, Now comes the combination of vertical and curves strokes, the B, D, J, P, and U.
  • Eighth, the R. It’s a P with a leg on.
  • Finally, the S. Think of the first part as a C and the last part as backwards C.
