What this lesson teaches
The letter e is a small loop: swing up like an i, but curve back over your stroke instead of retracing it.
The letter l is the tall loop from lesson 2: swing all the way up to the top line, loop over, and pull down through your own stroke to the baseline.
Loops should stay open — if they close into a solid line, slow down and widen the swing.

How to use it
Print at 100% on US Letter — not “fit to page”. The ruling is classroom size, and scaling the page down makes every letter the wrong size. The 10 cm scale at the foot of the sheet is there to check against: if it measures short, the print was scaled.
The sheet holds 3 exercises, each with a model row in full ink, a pale row to trace over, and two empty ruled rows of your own.
