How to write the letter V: Capital V is two slants that meet at the bottom, drawn in one stroke. Lowercase v is the same shape, from the midline to the baseline.
This printable opens with big models of V and v: start at the green dot, follow the numbered strokes and the arrows. Your child then traces a row of each and writes more from the start dots. The next pages add the words "van" and "vest" to trace and copy, plus the sentence "Val visits the vet." on large, preschool-size lines.
Short, daily practice works better than one long session. One page a day for a few days is plenty at ages 4 to 6. When V is easy, move on to letter W or print the whole alphabet tracing set.
Tips for using it
- Rounded bottoms turn v into u. Make a sharp point at the bottom.
- Use a short pencil or a crayon broken in half; small tools encourage a better grip. For children not ready for lowercase, set Letter case to Uppercase only.
Questions
What sound does the letter V make?
V says /v/ as in van, vest and vine. Saying the sound each time your child writes v links handwriting to phonics.
What are some easy words that start with V?
Try van, vest, vine. The sheet uses van and vest because they are short, so the focus stays on forming the letter. Change the words with the generator if your child knows others.
