How to make a name tracing worksheet
Type the name, choose capitals or normal letters, and pick the number of rows. Press Print to print the sheet or save it as a PDF from your browser's print window.
Children trace over the gray letters, then write the name themselves on the empty row at the bottom. Short daily practice works better than one long session.
Why children start with their own name
A name is often the first word a child wants to write, because it means something to them. Tracing it helps with letter shapes and pencil control.
Once they are confident, move on to letters in other words. Our alphabet and phonics worksheets are a good next step.
