1. Straight line family - letters based on a single vertical line

2. The coathanger family - letters based on a c shape

3. The bridge family - letters that have a vertical down stroke followed by a diagonal movement to the right

4. The zig zag family - letters that use a zig zag shape

5. The smile family - letters that start with a smiley mouth shape 

6. The misfits! Letters that are unique and individual and do not fit with any other letter groups

Handwriting is completed on 4 lines.
