Tips
- Say the letter’s name and sound while tracing.
- Most letters start at the top — the starting dots make that habit automatic.
- Practice a few letters a day rather than the whole alphabet at once.
How to use this worksheet
- Say the letter’s name and sound, then say the word on the page.
- Trace the solid example with a finger, starting at the dot, and say the starting direction as you go.
- Trace the dotted uppercase and lowercase letters with a pencil, starting at the dot each time.
- Trace the word, then ask your child to write the letter once on their own at the end.
Printing tips
- Print at 100% (“Actual size”) on US Letter or A4 so the lines stay the right size.
- Plain copy paper works for pencils and crayons. Use slightly heavier paper if your child likes markers.
- Need a different size or tracing style? Choose Customize to change the paper, line size and tracing style before printing.
- Print one copy first to check the fit, then print as many as you need.
Common questions
Should children learn uppercase or lowercase first?
Many teachers start with uppercase because the strokes are simpler, but lowercase letters make up most of what children read and write. The most practical approach is to learn the letters in your child’s name first, whichever case they use.
How many letters should we practice each week?
Two or three letters a week, practiced a little every day, works better than a full alphabet in one sitting. Children remember letters they have formed many times in short sessions.
Why do the letters have starting dots?
Almost every letter starts at the top. The dot shows where to begin, so correct letter formation becomes a habit that makes writing faster and neater later on.
