Free printable tracing worksheets.
Made for your child.

What you can put on a sheet

• ABC and abc: capital letters, small letters, or both side by side (Aa Bb Cc).
• Numbers: 1 2 3 and up.
• Words and sentences: ready-made food words and sentences, or type anything, such as your child's name.
• My own words: sentences your child typed in Sentence Safari, ready to copy by hand.
• Just typed: the words from a round of Typing Safari, so typing practice turns into pencil practice.

Three ways to practise

• Trace: every line is light dotted letters to trace over.
• Trace + write: a dotted line, then an empty line to write it on their own.
• Fade away: light, then lighter, then empty, so support fades as confidence grows.

Turn on Starting dots to number where each stroke begins (1, 2, 3), the most useful hint when a child is still learning how to form letters. Fill each line repeats a letter or word across the whole row.

Sizes that match the grade

• Big (Kindergarten): capitals 20 mm tall.
• Medium (Grade 1): capitals 14 mm tall.
• Small (Grades 2–3): capitals 10 mm tall.

Choose Letter (8½ × 11 in) or A4, and add an optional title and a name-and-date line.

Made to print cleanly

Sheets use classic primary ruling: a solid top line, a dashed middle line and a solid baseline, with g, j, p, q and y dropping below. The letters are upright ball-and-stick print in light grey dots, so they print well in black and white. Only the sheet prints, never the buttons around it, and a practice line never splits across two pages.
