The letter “L” tested my sanity

Some letters will test your patience more than others. Instead of avoiding them, let them become your teachers. The letters that challenge you most often have the greatest lessons to offer. The letter "l" is one of them. 

On the practice sheet, the letter "l" is rated "E" for easy. Not for me, it was. I had the darndest time trying to get the loop into a downstroke to fill the gap from where the upstroke was. I'm so glad i had my plushie. It really does help with frustration.  

Some letters will take longer to learn, and that is okay. A challenging letter is not a sign to stop—it is an invitation to spend more time getting to know your craft. Patience is part of the art.
