The lowercase b starts at the top line with a tall straight downstroke to the baseline — this is the ascender that distinguishes b from other round letters. Without lifting, push back up along the stick to the midline, then curve forward and round to the right, touching the baseline and closing back at the stick. Uppercase B begins at the top line with a straight downstroke to the baseline, then lifts back to the top to add two bumps: a larger bump to the right that lands at the midline, and a second slightly larger bump that reaches back to the baseline.
Practicing b alongside words like ball and bear helps children anchor the tall stick before the round bump. Toggle the trace opacity to give beginners heavy guides, then reduce it as confidence builds so each b is drawn more from memory than from tracing.
Trace and copy Bb
Faded guide letters to trace, then blank lines to write the letter from memory on the same page.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I help my child stop reversing b and d?
- Teach the stick-first rule: b starts with a downstroke on the left, then adds a bump that faces right, while d starts with a circle on the left and adds a stick on the right. Some teachers use the visual cue of forming the word 'bed' with both hands — the left hand's index and thumb make a b and the right hand's make a d.
- Why does lowercase b have a tall stroke but lowercase d does not start at the top?
- In standard manuscript, b is formed top-down, giving it an ascender that starts at the top line. Lowercase d starts with a circle at the midline before adding a stick that rises to the top line — making the stroke order the key difference between the two letters.
