26 Wonderful Word Tracing Worksheets: Free & Easy Print

Looking for word tracing worksheets for kindergarten students?

Well, if your early writers have mastered tracing lines and tracing letters , then they are ready to move on to words!

These printable worksheets are arranged in alphabetic order from  A-Z. Each of the practice sheets has four common words that start with the same letter and letter sound.

There are also four pictures to color that correspond with each letter of the alphabet. Colorful pictures are such a pain to print, plus coloring is more fun!

At the bottom of this page, you will find simple instructions to download your own pdf file of all of the worksheets. No email address is required!

What kind of words will be traced.

A lot of thought was put into the words used in this worksheet packet. I wanted to support the work that has been done to teach letter sounds. 

Each new word starts with a basic consonant sound or short vowel sound. No long vowel sounds, soft c, soft g, or silent letters.

Young children will probably not be able to read most of the words, unless they already know them as sight words. There are picture clues though that will help them understand what they are tracing.

For reference, this is our favorite phonics based reading curriculum and spelling curriculum . 

Benefits of Tracing Words

Young children who have learned their alphabet letters are probably used to tracing.

They have traced letters, numbers, and probably shapes.

But tracing words causes them to think and work a little bit harder because they are not writing the same letter over and over again.

The child has to transition from one letter to the next.

They are also learning letter size, letter spacing, fine motor skills, handwriting skills, and more! Eventually, these building blocks will be used to write sentences and paragraphs down the road. 

How To Prepare Kids For Tracing Words

To ensure your young learner’s success, there are a few things to consider before diving into these practice sheets.

1. Line And Letter Tracing

As mentioned above, your child should feel confident with tracing lines and letters before you move on to words. If your child still needs to sharpen those skills, click on the links above to get plenty of practice worksheets

****If your student struggles with letter reversal issues (like most kids do), check out these letter b worksheets and letter d worksheets for extra practice.

2. Interest In Writing

Is your child very resistant to writing? Depending on what early age you’re working with, it might be best to wait. A few months of development can make a huge difference! 

A great way to get them engaged is to have them practice tracing their own name.  This worksheet maker  can provide you with a customized name tracing worksheet.

You could also use that tool to create a custom worksheet with the dog’s name, their favorite sport, etc.

The cute coloring pictures on these tracing sheets are also designed to help engage your student and get them interested in writing.

3. The Proper Tools

Small hands often need a few extra things to make writing comfortable. 

Look into a chunky pencil or a quality pencil grip to help your child write more easily. It will also reduce muscle fatigue. I have said many times that I wish I had done this with my oldest child.

If you’re a classroom teacher, consider pulling out your heavy duty page protector so you can reuse these worksheets with dry erase markers. 

Very few words start with the basic /ks/ sound. Words like box and fox do end with it. 

The words in the above tracing worksheet say the /x/ letter name or the /z/ sound. If you want your student to have more practice with words that end in the /ks/ sound, check out these letter x worksheets .

Do You Have Any Cursive Handwriting Worksheets?

Many homeschool parents are eager to start cursive handwriting. 

There are different ways to approach this skill. Some parents introduce it before print. Many teach it in third grade, the grade it has been traditionally taught. And still others will only teach it if the child shows interest in learning. 

However you decide to go about it, be sure to check out my 26 Cursive Alphabet Tracing Printables !

Generate Name Tracing Worksheets

Use the Name Tracing Generator below to create a personalized name tracing worksheet. Just enter your child's name, choose the number of repetitions, and select the perfect tracing font. To respect your privacy, we don't store any of the information you enter.

Please wait a few seconds while the generator loads...

Choosing a Name Tracing Worksheet Font

Our Name Tracing Generator lets you choose from two great fonts: "Print" and "Slant". The Print font, drawing inspiration from the Zaner-Bloser handwriting method, offers a clear and straightforward design, perfect for beginners. On the other hand, the Slant font, based on the D'Nealian handwriting method, provides a more flowing, cursive-like style that readies young writers for their transition into cursive writing.

Both Print (Zaner-Bloser) and Slant (D'Nealian) handwriting styles are widely used in American schools, but the choice often depends on the curriculum decisions of individual school districts, schools, or even teachers. Check with your child's teacher to see which style is the closest match to the handwriting method used in their class before you make your name tracing worksheets.

Each font in our Name Tracing Generator is available in three distinctive styles: dotted, dotted with lines, and dotted with lines and arrows. The 'dotted' style is simple and ideal for tracing, while 'dotted with lines' adds the traditional writing lines for better letter placement. The third, 'dotted with lines and arrows', takes it a step further by indicating the order and direction of strokes.

Name Tracing Generator Tips

If your little one is just starting name tracing practice, we suggest keeping the repetitions low and the letters nice and large on the name tracing worksheets you make. You want them to feel that the task is fun and achievable! As their confidence grows, you can opt for smaller letters and increase the number of repetitions. Start with their first name and gradually introduce their middle and last names. You can even include the names of family members, friends, favorite toys, or TV characters to make it more fun!

Free Editable Name Tracing Printable Worksheets for Name Practice

These editable name tracing printable worksheets make learning to write names so much fun! Just type each name or word once and all of the sheets auto-populate.

Editable Name Tracing Printable Worksheets

One important thing that kids learn while in preschool or kindergarten is how to spell and write their name. So I wanted to come up with an easy way for teachers and parents to practice this important skill with their kids.

I made this very popular name search printable , but I wanted to make another printable that would help kids learn to write their name too.

That’s why I made these editable name tracing printable worksheets that are effective and engaging for kids.

My kids are loving them, so I hope the kids in your life will too!

Using the Name Practice Worksheets

Supplies Needed:

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

• Name printable sheets (link to download at bottom of post)
• Alphabet beads or alphabet magnets
• Dry erase markers
• Write and wipe pockets
• 0.25″ color coding label dots
• On the list, type a name in each space.
• Each page will automatically be customized for the names entered on the list.
• Print all of the pages you need.
• Place a dot sticker under each letter of the name for easy tracking.
• Put the pages into write and wipe pockets or page protectors. You can also laminate them, but you will probably have to use wet erase markers on them instead.

** I used tiny color coding label dots to make it easier for my kids to track the letters as they spell the names. You can also just use markers to color the dots on the name tracing sheet yourself.

Name Writing Practice

I made a page for each of my kids, but also did a few with family names on them because my son wanted to learn to write them. My son loved that he was able to learn to write the names of other people.

In the first box, I have my kids spell the name by placing a finger on each dot while saying the letter above it. Then they say the name out loud.

In the second box, they use letter beads or alphabet magnets to build the name. You could also use letter tiles.

In the third and final box, they trace the name with a fine point dry-erase marker.

Learning to Write Names

If you are doing this in a classroom preschool or kindergarten students, I would make one for each child and make this a part of their morning routine.

All you have to do is type the names on this page and then all the name practice pages will automatically be filled in with the names.

The file MUST be opened in ADOBE ACROBAT READER after you download it. You can get Adobe Reader for free here , if you don’t already have it. You will not be able to edit the file properly without Adobe Reader.

Once you click download button in the email you receive, the file will open. Then you will need to click the download button at the top right (it’s the one with arrow pointing down). Choose where you want the file to be saved on your computer. Then go to that place to open the file. This time right click on the file and choose “Open with” and then pick Adobe Acrobat. Once it is opened in Adobe Acrobat, you will be able to edit all of the names.

You will not be able to do this on your phone. You will need to do it on a computer.

I hope the kids have a blast with these editable name tracing printable worksheets! Add them to your morning routine or literacy centers for lots of fun and learning.

Whether your child is just learning to write their name or just need to improve their handwriting, using editable name tracing worksheets is an easy way to practice tracing names.

Non-Consumable Name Tracing Pages

Why Name Tracing is Important

Are you looking for free name tracing worksheets ? Learning how to read and trace your name are the first steps to literacy in preschool and kindergarten. People’s names are important. That is why we make sure to pronounce our student’s names correctly and why we spend the beginning of the year working on reading and writing names. When students learn the letters in their name, especially the beginning letter, it is a good way to segue into phonics.

Benefits of Name Tracing

Name tracing is not just about writing; it encompasses a range of educational benefits:

• Letter Recognition : Recognizing and writing their own name helps children become familiar with the alphabet and the sounds each letter makes.
• Fine Motor Skills : Tracing helps develop the fine motor skills necessary for writing, such as pencil grip and hand-eye coordination.
• Confidence Building : Successfully tracing and writing their name can boost a child’s confidence and encourage them to take on more writing tasks.

There are eight different type of name tracing worksheets, print them all or print whatever you would like to use.

• Name Worksheet #1 On this worksheet, students will read their name, tract it, write their name in rainbow letters and also write their name in letter boxes. Letter boxes will help them learn and remember letter formation.
• Name Worksheet #2 Students will work on the first letter of their name and also work on tracing their name four times.
• Name Worksheet #3-6 Students will trace their name each day of the week. This is a good printable to add to the beginning of their morning meeting binder or on a table where students need to sign in each morning as attendance. Their are 3 variations with different levels of guidance.
• Name Worksheet #7 This worksheet can be used as a coloring page, you can have students use different art materials such as markers, paint, daubers, Q-tips to paint their name. You can also have them add small stickers to trace their name.
• Name Worksheet #8 Students will color their name. They will search the box for the letters of their name and color the ones that appear in their name. They will then trace it.

How to Use Name Tracing Worksheets Effectively

These free name tracing worksheets can be used over and over to create fresh, new worksheets for your child or students. Here are some tips on how to make the most out of these resources:

• Start Simple : Begin with worksheets that have fewer repetitions and larger letters. As children become more confident, gradually increase the complexity.
• Incorporate into Daily Routine : Use the daily name tracing worksheets as part of your morning routine. This consistency helps reinforce learning.
• Combine with Phonics : Use the worksheets in conjunction with phonics lessons. For example, emphasize the sound of each letter as children trace their names.
• Make It Fun : Turn name tracing into a game or a craft project. Use colorful markers, stickers, or even glitter to make the activity enjoyable.

Name tracing is an essential early literacy skill that sets the foundation for future writing and reading success. Our free name tracing worksheets and customizable generator provide a valuable resource for parents and teachers alike. By making the practice fun, engaging, and tailored to each child’s needs, we can foster a love for learning and help children develop critical skills.

My worksheets didn’t look anything like yours when I downloaded them. None of them had the dotted lines for tracing or balloon letters for coloring. What did I do wrong.

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to comment. I know that Adobe Reader was having issues with mac. I think you might need to update it. Let me know if that works!

How do you edit??

Once you download the tracing worksheet – open it with Acrobat Reader and you should be able to add the name. Thanks.

Love these sheets, but unfortunately when I print these they just give me solid lines. No dotted lines or bubbled letters to color in. I’m not using a mac either. Everything is fully updated.

I am not sure – I open it in Acrobat Reader and use that software. It works on my end. I am not sure what the issue is. Sorry.

How do you change the type of font? Also wondering how to get dotted lines to trace and numbers to guide where to start.

Hi – thank you for commenting. To answer your question, this free name traceable document doesn’t have the option to change the font, the font is as it displays. It is as it is – their is no way to customize it except for the name.

What fonts do I need to download to get the dotted lines.

Hi, The fonts are embedded in the document. Perhaps try updating acrobat reader. If you still have problems let me know and I will try to help you troubleshoot.

Tips for Using Writing Worksheets

• Use letter writing worksheets as a way to introduce your child to a chosen letter of the day, or even a letter of the week! Start your day with a letter writing worksheet to get your child familiar with the symbol and how to draw it. Challenge your child to find the letter written down in three different places over the course of the day. As the day goes on, you can have him write the letter in unusual places, like in a foggy bathroom mirror or with his peas at dinner. Make learning a letter a special event everyday.
• Writing worksheets for kids can be great pre-reading or post-reading activities. Find a writing prompt that revolves around the subject of your story or lesson to complete before the reading assignment. Writing worksheets can revolve around physical objects that are in the story, such as snow or animals, or they can have a similar lesson about giving, emotions, or anything else.
• Use writing worksheets to introduce your child to a new language. Our selection of foreign language writing worksheets help your child learn non-alphabetic languages in a simple way. These worksheets are great for kids who are learning about a new culture.

Enhance Letter Recognition and Writing Skills with Letter Tracing Worksheets

Letter tracing worksheets are valuable tools that aid children in developing letter recognition and proper letter formation. They provide a fun and interactive way for students to get extra practice tracing uppercase and lowercase letters, strengthening their fine motor skills and fostering a solid foundation for writing.

Benefits of Letter Tracing Worksheets

Building letter recognition.

Letter tracing worksheets help kids become familiar with both uppercase and lowercase alphabet letters, improving their ability to recognize and differentiate between them.

While capital letters are often taught first, it's crucial to also emphasize lowercase letter recognition. Small letters are more frequently used in written language, and mastery of lowercase letters is essential for reading and writing fluency.

Proper Letter Formation

By tracing the dotted or dashed lines on the worksheets, students learn the correct sequence and direction of strokes, promoting proper letter formation. Alphabet tracing worksheets help children recognize and memorize the visual features of letters. By repeatedly tracing the lines and curves of each letter, children become familiar with their shapes and formation. This aids in letter recognition and paves the way for proper letter formation when they begin writing independently.

Fine Motor Skills Development

The act of tracing letters on worksheets requires precise hand-eye coordination and control, enhancing fine motor skills crucial for writing. Letter tracing activities require children to use their small hand muscles and hand-eye coordination. By gripping a pencil or crayon and tracing the lines of letters, children develop their fine motor skills, which are essential for tasks like writing, drawing, and other everyday activities.

Tracing Worksheets for Lowercase Letters

Lowercase letters are more prevalent in written text compared to uppercase letters. Tracing lowercase letters helps children become proficient in recognizing and differentiating them, as lowercase letters make up the majority of words in written language.

Lowercase letter tracing activities for preschoolers

Preschoolers can engage in specific activities targeting lowercase letter tracing. These activities can include tracing lowercase letters in various multisensory ways, using materials like sand, clay, or textured surfaces, and incorporating lowercase alphabet tracing into games or interactive learning apps.

Letter Tracing Generator Tools and Templates

Letter tracing generator tools are software or online resources that allow you to create your own letter tracing pages. These tools allow users to select specific letters, fonts, sizes, and other features to create personalized worksheets for letter tracing activities.

Benefits of using alphabet tracing generators for educators and parents: alphabet tracing generators save time and effort by providing ready-made worksheets or customizable options. They offer a convenient way to generate a variety of tracing exercises, adapt to individual learning needs, and create a consistent learning experience.

Various letter tracing maker tools are available, each with its unique features and functionalities. A comparison of popular tools can help educators and parents identify the most suitable options based on factors such as ease of use, available customization options, and compatibility with different devices.

Letter Tracing Templates for Classroom Use

Teachers can create their own letter tracing templates tailored to specific lessons or learning objectives. Customization options can include letter styles, sizes, spacing, and incorporating related images or words to reinforce learning.

Letter tracing templates can actually also be integrated into lesson plans and learning activities across subjects. For example, they can be used for letter recognition exercises in language arts, as part of science experiments involving labeling and categorization, or for reinforcing letter-sound correspondence in phonics lessons.

Planning for a Letter Tracing Worksheet

Letter tracing worksheets play a crucial role in early childhood education by introducing children to the shapes and forms of letters. They provide a hands-on and interactive approach to learning the alphabet, which is essential for building a strong foundation in reading and writing. Here are some steps for creating an original letter tracing template:

• Choose target letters (uppercase, lowercase, or both).
• Select a suitable font and size for clarity and proper formation.
• Decide on the layout, including spacing and optional elements like dots or arrows.
• Design a worksheet template using word processing or design software.
• Insert target letters, leaving enough space for comfortable tracing.
• Optionally include starting points or directional cues for letter tracing.
• Overlay clear dashed or dotted lines for tracing paths.
• Proofread for accuracy and consistency.
• Print or distribute digitally while maintaining legibility.
• Customize worksheets with variations to meet diverse learning needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Letter Tracing Worksheets

Can letter tracing worksheets help with letter sound recognition.

Letter tracing worksheets can help with letter sound recognition as children trace letters and reinforce the connection between letters and their corresponding sounds. Tracing letters allows them to focus on letter shape and form, aiding in letter recognition. Worksheets with words or pictures starting with the traced letter provide context, reinforcing letter-sound correspondence. You can find letter tracing worksheets free online, and using letter tracing generators or templates, you can create personalized worksheets. Incorporating these worksheets supports language development and phonetic awareness.

Can letter tracing worksheets be used as a tool for children with learning difficulties or special needs?

Yes, letter tracing worksheets can be used as a helpful tool for children with learning difficulties or special needs. The structured format of tracing letters provides a visual and tactile approach to learning letter recognition and formation, which can benefit children with diverse learning needs. The repetitive nature of tracing helps reinforce letter-sound associations and supports fine motor skills development. Additionally, there are free printable alphabet worksheets available online, and using letter tracing generators or templates, educators and parents can create customized letter worksheets tailored to the specific needs of children with learning difficulties or special needs.

What are some other activities that can be combined with letter tracing worksheets to reinforce letter recognition and writing skills?

To reinforce letter recognition and writing skills, combine activities like reading alphabet books, sensory play, letter matching games, letter formation practice, letter sound activities, and digital resources with letter tracing worksheets. This creates a comprehensive approach to enhance skills in a fun and effective manner.

Cursive Name Tracing Worksheet

Practice writing in cursive with the D`Nealian font with simple doodle borders.

Cursive writing is an old-school skill that kids should learn, but whether they’re taught it varies depending on where you live. Whether you want to do some cursive handwriting practice for school or teach it at home, this free customizable cursive name tracing worksheet can really help.

You can even change the font, color, and border!

Free Cursive Name Tracing Worksheet

Most kids love learning to write their names, which is great because it’s also one of the most important things they need to learn early on. And what better first full word to practice in cursive? 

Tips for Cursive Writing Practice:

• Break it up. Begin with just their first name, then work on the last name, and finally both together.
• Limit repetitions. When you first introduce cursive letters, limit the number of repetitions on each sheet. It might seem better to practise more, but it can be overwhelming or tiring for kids. The printable can be customized to have 1 to 10 repetitions on each sheet.
• Try other words . Once your child has mastered their own name you can generate practice worksheets for other names (like those of family members) or simple words. It’s a great way to master connecting different letters in cursive!
• Make it fun . Let the child pick some words to practice and select their favorite border. You can also practice writing with a variety of utensils like colored pencils, crayons, and markers.

What Font to Use For Cursive Writing Worksheets?

We use the D’Nealian font as our default for cursive because it has well formed, easy to read handwriting letters.

If kids are still new to handwriting, it can be helpful to choose the font with arrow guides so they form cursive letters correctly. Once the basics are down, the dotted version of the font works well.

Another fun idea is to practice hand lettering with this free cursive name tracing worksheet. Use the dotted or solid font and a thick marker to practice hand lettering techniques. 

Keep Practicing Cursive Writing

The more kids practice writing in cursive the more they develop muscle memory and it becomes second nature!

Table of Contents

Letter D Preschool Pack

This pack focuses on the fourth letter of the alphabet, the letter D. Every activity targets early literacy skills development through phonics, uppercase and lowercase discrimination and expanding a child’s vocabulary with words that begin with letter D.

• Letter D Activities Pack

The pack includes uppercase and lowercase letter d activities for little ones as young as 3 years old. However, there isn’t an age limit and these even worked well for my daughter when she was 5 years-old.

We like to practice by saying the words or even by singing a little song like ‘D is for dog, deer and dinosaur’, this is just something the kids can make up and be silly about.

This pack has so many resources. My favorite are these Letter D posters and flashcards that have cartoon pictures AND real life pictures. Display them on a classroom wall or on the fridge so the kids can easily see and refer back to them.

There’s also clip cards and letter sorting. These activities build critical thinking and problem-solving skills and are more challenging for the kids.

The play dough mats and crafts are a great option for more hands-on activities that work on fine motor skills.

These alphabet printables are great for literacy centers, morning work, homeschools or a homework packet.

Let’s talk about the shop/product version first that can be purchased here .

19. Letter D Mazes – Cover each letter D or picture that starts with D to find a path through the mazes. This activity improves problem-solving.

21. Letter D Patterns – Continue each pattern featuring uppercase and lowercase letters and pictures beginning with D. Pattern-making improves memory.
