If you work on your lowercase “I” first you should be able to master the capital “I” a lot quicker. The lowercase “i” is a simple letter to write. All you need to do is to trace an upward stroke starting at the bottom line and reaching the dotted line in the middle.Sep 4, 2018

Capitalize I: There is no logical reason why the personal pronoun I — the word you use to refer to yourself — must be capitalized. The reason probably has something to do with psychology. So go for caps when you write I, and save lowercase for other pronouns (he, she, us, them, and so on).

It’s only necessary to capitalize other pronouns when they begin a sentence. However, the pronoun “I” is always capitalized, no matter where it falls in a sentence.
The I should also be capitalized when I is in a contraction with other words. For instance, the I in I’m is capitalized because I’m is a contraction of I am. I’ve is a contraction of I have, so I is capitalized there too.

Start by making a “o” shape, once looped back around to the starting point, take your stroke down below the bottom line. After making the tail under the bottom line, bring your stroke back up, finishing the letter by making a small tail on the right.

The generally accepted linguistic explanation for the capital “I” is that it could not stand alone, uncapitalized, as a single letter, which allows for the possibility that early manuscripts and typography played a major role in shaping the national character of English-speaking countries.
When not to capitalize family member titles
In other words, capitalize words such as Mother, Father, Grandmother, Grandfather, Son, Daughter, and Sis when they are used in place of the person’s name. Do not capitalize them when they follow possessive pronouns such as her, his, my, our, your.
Why is “Grandpa Joe” capitalized? It’s a general version of a word. It’s a proper noun. It’s not a specific person’s name.
‘I’m’ is always used in conjunction with a noun phrase. You cannot write “A boy, I’m”, but you can write “A boy, I am”. ‘I’m’ may also be considered informal outside speech or a literary scope. ‘I am’ is also longer to pronounce, and therefore has more emphasis (as pointed out by one of the answers).
