It teaches them about the correct orientation of letters when they are writing. When young children write (not type) they will often make common errors:make all letters the same heightstart lowercase letters on ‘the line’.now take uppercase letters above the height of letters such as a, c and smake letters such as e and s (these two are particularly problematical in my experience) the same height as capital and uppercase letters.Referring to them in this way (and if necessary giving them a brown, green and blue coloured background on which to practice the letters can really help, particularly if the child is a so-called ‘visual learner’.
