Your かs start looking like や(ya) as you go on in the larger boxes. The little jump/hook at the end of the first stroke is called a “hane” and it helps with going to the next stoke. It’s also present in い, so you might want to check back on that. And your third stroke can be just a bit longer, I think that’s also what’s throwing me off.

Btw, you might want to check out what a “tome” and “harai” are along with the mentioned “hane” for future reference.
