Tracing First Words

These are among the first words in almost every early reading scheme, and they are short enough to write in one go. Writing a word rather than a letter is the point where handwriting starts to feel worth doing.

Ages 4–7
Free, no sign-up
Black and white

Before you print: Print one per child. Read each word together before tracing it.
