Letter formation video, Long ladder letter family

Help your child form each letter of the alphabet correctly with our stroke-by-stroke videos, with experts from the National Handwriting Association. In this video we look at the Long ladder letter family: l, i, u, t and y.

The Long ladder letter family (l, i, u, t and y) is formed with a long, downward movement made to start writing the letter. Our letter-by-letter video takes you through the correct formation of each letter, so you can help your child practise handwriting movements in the correct way.
