Children can become confused about which of the tramlines to start and end b and p on.
Explicit naming of the start and end points and modelling of this.
Ascender - the part of a letter that extends above the level of the top of an "x"
Baseline - this is the line that most letters sit on
Tramlines - straight, parallel lines that we can use as a guide to help us write neatly and keep our letters the same size
Descender - the part of a letter that descends below the level of the bottom of an "x"
