Letter B Tracing Worksheet – Free Printables

Designed by Chris

The easiest and most introductory worksheet on the list, this version simply asks students to trace the letters inside of a bubble letter formation. The very large letters is good for initial fine motor skill development – plus, students can color the bubbles once they’re done!

This version also has big bubble letters for students to trace inside. But as an addition, students can also practice their fine motor skills by tracing an item that starts with the letter b: a banana! The tracing helps with fine motor skills, while students can also start to understand the idea of identifying beginning sounds in words.

We’re moving onto more refined practice in this worksheet, with students practicing inside smaller bubble letters, before we move onto just tracing over the lines. We’ve also got three b-words here: banana, bat and ball.

Children need to learn that letters fit within groups to form words. Here, with a focus on b words still, we have a simple sentence with three words starting with the focus letter. The sentence is: “The bat and ball are in the bag.”

Moving up a difficulty level, students are now introduced to horizontal handwriting lines, with the idea that they start to write the letters in a uniform size – letters should be the same size as letters proximate to them. Students practice both uppercase and lowercase B here.

This version has progression built into the one page. Students start with the lowercase letter on its own, then the uppercase, then lowercase and uppercase alongside one another. This culminates in writing a word: ball, with both uppercase and lowercase b varieties.

This version involves drill and practice of the letter, in both its forms. The focus should be on uniformity of both shape and size. With consistent practice and reinforcement, students will lock the letter into their memory.

In this version, we focus on short, common, and memorable words starting with our focus letter. The words are: bat, ball, and boy. Students practice each word four times – and we’ve incorporated plenty of chances for uppercase and lowercase practice again.

Eventually, students need to lose the scaffold of the dotted letters to trace over, and start to write the letters independently. The intermediary step is to still have the blank horizontal writing lines and a model at the beginning of each row.

This version focuses on repetition of one word: ball. We write it 12 times in total, alternating the letter case as we go. Ideally, students should complete this piece with strong understanding that uppercase and lowercase B both represent the same thing.
