The lowercase w sits between the midline and the baseline and is built from four short slanted strokes: slant down to the baseline, slant back up to the midline, slant down to the baseline again, and finish with a slant back up to the midline. This creates two adjacent v-shapes that share the middle upstroke. Uppercase W mirrors this four-stroke sequence at full height, running from the top line down to the baseline and back up twice.
Tracing wagon or whale across a full row reinforces the even rhythm of the four alternating strokes — children often rush the middle two and squish them together. Reducing the letter size one step in the editor after a successful large-size row is a good progression, since smaller w strokes demand tighter muscle control.

Frequently asked questions
- Why do children often make w look lopsided or uneven?
- The four strokes of w need to travel equal distances, but children tend to make the outer strokes wider and the inner ones narrow. Counting out loud — down, up, down, up — while tracing keeps the rhythm steady and helps the letter look balanced.
- How is lowercase w related to lowercase v?
- A w is essentially two v shapes written in sequence: the second v starts where the first one ends. Children who can already form a clean v often find w easier once they realize it is just that shape repeated side by side.
- Are the letter W worksheets free to print?
