Tracing, matching and following the letter h
Children trace H and h from start dots, and the answer key describes the strokes: two tall sticks and a line across for H, one tall stick and a hump from the middle line for h. In H or h?, they match four capital letters to lowercase ones, with n, m and k in the rows as look-alikes. The page ends with a picture grid where colouring the hat, horse, hammer, helicopter, hippo and hand marks the only path to the house; the cake, pear and nose stay blank.

Teaching tips
1
The nose is in the grid on purpose: n is the letter children most often mix up with h. If a child colours square 8, have them say "nose" and "hand" and listen to how differently they start.
2
Before the maze, have children breathe out a warm h-h-h as if fogging a mirror, the tip printed on the key, so they hear that h is a breath with no voice.

Ways to adjust the Letter H page for different learners.
Support
Start the path together
- Colour square 4, the hat, together so every child knows where the path begins.
- In H or h?, cover the two wrong choices in row a and talk through why h matches H.
- Trace one H and one h, then write one more of each.
On level
Teach as written
- All three sections, with you naming the nine pictures.
- Students run a finger along the finished path from Start to Home to check it connects.
Extension
Find more h words
- Name an h word to replace the cake, one for the pear and one for the nose.
- Write the lowercase letter for two more capitals of their choice, set out like the H or h? rows.

Each one is checked against the official document. Where the resource covers only part of a standard, the note says so.

Students trace and copy big H and little h until they can write them on their own. They also match each capital letter to its little letter. Writing words and sentences is not covered.
