How to Teach Letter Tracing with these Worksheets

The worksheets on this page have a natural progression to them, with the idea that they will guide students’ literacy development.

Ideally, students will progress from the large letter worksheets within bubble font, and then move onto the smaller sheets that contain letter tracing lines.

The third level of difficulty is independent letter writing, where students can be given the blank writing lines without the dot letters included on the page. The idea here is to encourage students to write the letters without the scaffolding of the dot-tracing pieces.

Finally, students can progress to incorporating the letters into easy words and sentences. You’ll notice I’ve included worksheets with both individual d-letter words, and a d-sentence worksheet on this page.

What’s the Ideal Age for Letter Writing Practice?

Children are often ready to start learning letters around age 3 to 6, but this does vary widely between children, and that’s okay!

But generally, I tend to find that age 4 tends to be a sweet spot for introducing alphabet letters. Hopefully, these worksheets with large fonts and visual activities will be part of that fun learning approach.

Furthermore, keeping it simple and interactive, like matching games or even word and picture cards, can help make the learning process feel natural. At this age, it’s all about making connections that feel fun and meaningful to them.

An additional tool you could use is my letter flashcards which can teach letter recognition skills.

What to Teach Next

The next progression from letter tracing is name tracing. For this, you can access my full list of name tracing worksheets, where I’ve included tracing practice for the 900 most popular names from this year.

This a great next step, as name writing is personally meaningful and motivating.

Beyond name tracing, students can move to writing simple, short words. Some of the first words students learn to read and write are called CVC words, which contain a consonant, then a vowel, then a consonant. Examples include: cat, dog, and sun. You can check out plenty of free CVC words tracing worksheets here.

Pre-K and Kindergarten Literacy Ideas

At age 4, many children are ready for foundational literacy skills beyond letter recognition and tracing. Here are some literacy topics that are often suitable and engaging at this age:

  1. Story Retelling with Puppets: Give students simple hand puppets or finger puppets related to a story you’ve read aloud. Have them act out parts of the story, which helps with comprehension and narrative skills. This activity lets them express themselves while working on sequence and vocabulary.
  2. Letter Hunts: Hide large plastic or cardboard letters around the classroom or outside. Let students search for the letters and, when they find one, say the letter name and a word that starts with it. This activity combines movement with letter recognition.
  3. Alphabet Art Collages: Assign each student a letter and let them create a collage of objects or images that start with that letter (like cotton balls for “C” or buttons for “B”). This strengthens letter-sound connections and gives them a creative outlet.
  4. Rhyme Time Bingo: Create simple bingo cards with pictures of rhyming words. Call out a word and let the students find a rhyming picture on their card. Rhyming helps kids tune in to sounds in words, a skill that supports reading development.
  5. Sight Word Sensory Play: Use a tray with sand, rice, or shaving cream and encourage students to trace sight words or simple letters. Sensory experiences help reinforce word shapes and allow students to practice writing in a hands-on way.
  6. Letter Sounds Song and Dance: Play a song that goes through the alphabet, focusing on letter sounds. Encourage kids to sing along and dance. Movement and music make letter sounds memorable and fun.
