what is the correct writing sequence of letter "E"

what is the correct writing sequence of letter "E" ?
My daughter asked me about this.
I am used to write the horizontal character stroke of "E",
but her teacher told that the first stroke is the downwards-starting right angle character stroke.
I want get authorative answer from native english speaker
thanks

think it depends on what continent as to how people form a printed E.

but that is beside the point now as printing is not taught in schools here now... they start with unconnected written (cursive) letters.. then progress to joining the letters together.

So modern kids cannot print letters, when they need to fill out a form

but personally... i do the down stroke first... then each horizontal sroke seperately

[hugo929]

so you remind me of a third writing way which I personally think it is the least correct .

I write an "L" then add the two other strokes....but as long as you can read the letter "E" does it matter?

and I just asked my 9 year old son and he was taught to write an "L" then two strokes, middle then top

Writing an L is faster than a reverse L and 2 lines, draw an L and 2 other lines.
Drawing a line and 3 others to complete the letter is slower too.
So was taught in school.

You can tell your daughter that there isn't a "right order" of strokes like in chinese ideograms, as long as the job is done here no one really cares... it's not a mistake. I guess that's why she's asking

Have a good evening.

you are right dume, Chinese strokes order has a general guiding rule that is from left to right and from top to bottom.

I start with the top line, from right to left, then continue down to the bottom line, finishing by adding the middle line. That uses only two pen strokes.

funny there are so many variations of writing way for such a simple letter lol!!!

[Wizzard1]

I go L + middle + top but sometimes I gop top + middle + L depending how frustrated I am
