Begin at the upper right with a small flat shoulder, then sweep down and to the left in a deep curl that drops below the baseline. The tail rises back toward the left, finishing in a soft point.

For parents

ج, چ, ح, خ all share the same curl. The dot, or its absence, is what tells them apart. Teach jeem first because the dot below is the most stable cue: it sits inside the curl, protected. The stroke timing is approximate; what matters is the curl drops below the baseline before the dot goes in.

The first jeem your child writes is often the name of someone they know: Junaid, June, Jinnah. Say the name out loud as they trace. The letter belongs to people in their life, not to a worksheet.
