Lowercase i is one of the simplest manuscript letters: start at the midline and pull a short straight downstroke to the baseline, then lift and add a dot centered directly above the stick, just above the midline. It has no ascender, no descender, and no curves. Uppercase I is a single tall downstroke from the top line to the baseline, with a short horizontal serif cap added at the top and another at the bottom in Zaner-Bloser style.
Because lowercase i is just a stick and a dot, the most common error is forgetting the dot or placing it off-center. Practicing with insect and igloo keeps sessions brief and focused, making i a confidence-building letter to introduce early or revisit before moving on to more complex shapes.
Trace and copy Ii
Faded guide letters to trace, then blank lines to write the letter from memory on the same page.

Practice the letter inside real words like insect, igloo, ivy, so it transfers from drills to writing.
Three-line and four-line guides
Match the baseline structure your handwriting program already uses, on Letter or A4 paper.
Frequently asked questions
- Why do children often forget the dot on lowercase i?
- Children tend to keep their pencil moving and flow straight into the next letter before returning to add the dot. Encouraging a deliberate pause and lift after each i — dot first, then continue — builds the habit more reliably than reminding after the word is finished.
- How is lowercase i different from lowercase l?
- Lowercase i sits only between the midline and the baseline, while l is an ascender letter whose stick rises all the way to the top line. The dot above i also helps identify it — l has no dot. On a four-line guide the height difference is immediately visible.
