In the order a synthetic-phonics classroom introduces them. A model, a dot where the pencil starts, then dotted letters to trace.
Years 1–2The pair on one four-line row, so a child sees that A and a are one letter.
Year 1Á, Č, Ď, É, Ě — the letters that make Czech Czech, with room above the line for the mark.
Year 1Short words built only from letters already taught. Or type your own list.
Year 1Ten numerals, a row each, with a dot where the pencil goes down.
Year 1The traditional Czech joined hand — loops, lead-ins and all. A model, a dot where the pencil goes down, then dotted letters to trace.
The same ground, on a tablet. The sheets are free and will stay free; the apps are how we make a living.
