They are like giraffes,with a long neck reaching high into the sky.b d f h k l tTURTLE LETTERS: These letters fit between the dotted/dashed middle line and the bottomline. They are like turtles who like to crawl in the grass.a c e i m n o r s u v w x zWORM LETTERS: These letters descend below the bottom line. They are like worms who liketo squirm in the dirt.g j p q yRemember…Giraffes, turtles and worms don’t know how to fly.
