While the letter F is often introduced later in the phonics series, it’s one of the easier ones to write. Kids have little trouble with uppercase F, and it’s a natural follow-up to writing uppercase E.
The lowercase letter f is trickier, especially when kids write on paper without the middle guideline. Ensure students get plenty of practice writing lowercase f.
