Small a should be reviewed frequently as a movement drill.

The first part of small a serves as the foundation of small c. In making
connective lines, an over-motion must be used. If an under-motion is
used from the ending of one c to the dot at the top of the next, there
will be a loop, and the letter will be too large. After making a few
lines, compare the height of c with o, a, m, and n. You will, of course,
frequently compare with the copy. The count is 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8, 9–10;
or dot over, dot over, dot over, dot over, dot over, for each group of
five. The speed should be sixteen groups of five, or eighty letters a
minute.
