Lowercase e starts in the middle of the space between the midline and baseline: draw a short horizontal stroke to the right, then curve up, arc left and over the top, sweep down to the baseline, and curve slightly right without closing all the way. The letter sits fully between the midline and baseline with no ascender or descender. Uppercase E starts at the top line with a straight downstroke to the baseline, then adds three horizontal bars — one at the top, one in the middle, and one at the baseline — with the middle bar slightly shorter than the other two.
The small horizontal entry stroke in lowercase e trips up many beginners who skip it and produce a shape closer to c. Tracing words like egg and elephant with the guide lines visible helps children feel that initial rightward stroke before the curve begins. Reducing trace opacity after a few rows encourages writing e from memory rather than following the outline.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the most common mistake when writing lowercase e?
- Most children either skip the entry crossbar entirely, turning e into an open c, or they close the loop fully so it looks like an o. Remind them the letter has a small flat shelf in the middle and ends with an open curve on the right, not a closed circle.
- How is lowercase e different from lowercase c?
- Both letters use a similar open arc, but e begins with a short horizontal stroke across the middle that splits the letter into an upper and lower portion, while c has no such stroke and opens toward the right from the very start. That crossbar is the defining feature of e.
