Lesson 3 of 18

Letters k–t

a–j again, plus dot 3.

Learn

Here’s the elegant trick: k through t are exactly a through j with dot 3 added. k is a plus dot 3, l is b plus dot 3, and so on.

If you know the first ten letters, you already know these. Just add dot 3, the bottom-left dot.

  • kdots 1, 3
  • ldots 1, 2, 3
  • mdots 1, 3, 4
  • ndots 1, 3, 4, 5
  • odots 1, 3, 5
  • pdots 1, 2, 3, 4
  • qdots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
  • rdots 1, 2, 3, 5
  • sdots 2, 3, 4
  • tdots 2, 3, 4, 5
