Kavi Lines Up His Letters
Kavi the owl looks at two sentences. One is a jumble — big and small letters hopping everywhere, words squashed together. The other sits neat and tidy on the line. "Neat writing has a secret," says Kavi. "Every letter knows its place — tall ones reach up, tails dip down, small ones sit in the middle — and we leave one finger space between words. Line them up with me!"
