🔵 Letters that go BELOW the line:

gjpqy

These letters hang down from the baseline — they don't sit on top!

📖 Trace each rhyming sentence. The blue letters go below the line!
1
A jolly pup jumps up and down
2
The froggy hops upon the ground
3
My puppy yips and skips around
4
A quacking duck just hops around
5
Jumping jolly, hip hooray
6
My little froggy loves to play
7
Yellow puppy goes up high
8
Quack quack quack and hop on by

💡 Tip for parents

Show your child the three zones: the space above the baseline (for b, d, h, k, l), the baseline where letters sit (a, c, e, m, n, o, r, s, u, v, w, x, z), and the descender zone below the baseline where g, j, p, q, y live. If they write "g" on top — gently point to the blue zone and say: "The tail goes down!"
