Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Demonstrate vertical, horizontal and oblique strokes/patterns.
e.g. /// \\\
- Let learners write these strokes/patterns in the air.
- Have learners write them in their books
Note: If need be, learners may first make these strokes by tracing and/or joining dots. Ensure correct sitting posture and correct grip of the writing tool.

 The stroke patterns are drawn on the page: three vertical strokes, three horizontal strokes and three more vertical strokes, followed by the oblique strokes /// \\\ which are the only part the text layer carries. The figure shows all of them.
