Read MoreThank you so much for this class! I love how you broke it down step by step and made it possible for a beginner like me to actually do this! The only thing I would recommend (or wish for) would be to add a reference page showing all the capital letters on one page, and all of the lowercase letters on one page. This would be super helpful for beginners, who are still learning all of the letters, as we begin practicing putting letters together to make words and sentences. Also, is there somewhere I can get a page with numbers? Thanks again! I love having a new hobby! :)
