The lowercase k sits between the baseline and the top line. Start at the top line and pull a straight line down to the baseline. Without lifting, return to the midline, push out a short slanted stroke up and to the right, then slant back down to the baseline, forming a V-shape off the stick. Uppercase K follows the same pattern at full height: draw the tall vertical line first, then attach the upper diagonal from the top line to the middle and the lower diagonal from the middle to the baseline.
Tracing words like 'kite' and 'kitten' is a great way to reinforce the two-part kick stroke that makes k distinctive. Set the trace opacity low so young learners must recall the branching diagonals from memory, and use the four-line guide to clearly show where the midline pivot falls.

Frequently asked questions
- Why do children often confuse lowercase k and lowercase h?
- Both letters start with a tall stick descending from the top line, so children conflate them. The difference is in what follows: h arches over and down like a tunnel, while k has two sharp diagonal strokes that meet at the midline. Pointing out that k 'kicks' can help the shape stick.
- Does the lowercase k ever touch the top line?
- Yes. The vertical stroke of lowercase k is an ascender, so it starts at the top line just like b, d, f, h, l, and t. This distinguishes it from letters like r or n, whose strokes only reach the midline.
- Are the letter K worksheets free to print?
- Yes. Creating and previewing letter K worksheets is free, and you can screenshot the preview to print. A Pro plan removes the watermark and unlocks high-quality PDF and PNG export.
