About word tracing pages
Children trace short theme words in dashed letters and then write each word again on primary lines. Tracing builds letter formation and pencil control, and copying the word right below moves the child from following a model to writing alone.
Ages 3–4: Four short words in large letters.
Ages 5–6: Six words.
Ages 7–8: All eight words, in smaller letters.
Print on plain US Letter paper. For pre-K, sit next to your child and read the instructions aloud; kindergartners can usually work alone after the first row.
