One page for every letter
The list in the box starts with every letter pair from Aa to Zz, so printing gives you a 26 page alphabet book: each page shows the pair in solid ink on the first line and in dotted letters to trace below. Delete the lines you do not need to print just the letters you are working on this week.
You are not limited to letters. Type sight words, short words like cat and sun, or numbers written as words: each line becomes its own page.
Starting dots teach the right strokes
Each letter is drawn the way it is taught, stroke by stroke. With green starting dots on, every stroke has a dot where the pencil goes down, and stroke order numbers and arrows on the solid example show the order and direction. Letters like a, d and g start at the top right of the circle and go around counterclockwise; b, h, m and n start with a straight line down from the top. Learning the start point early prevents habits that are hard to change later.
A simple weekly routine
- Pick two or three letters for the week.
- Trace them on large lines with starting dots for a few minutes a day.
- On the last day, switch to the empty lines at the end of the page and write them without help.
- Then use the name tracing worksheet to practice the same letters inside their name.
If your school teaches slanted letters with exit tails, print the alphabet from the D'Nealian handwriting worksheets page instead. For straight ball and stick letters, see the Zaner-Bloser style worksheets.
