Letter N Tracing Worksheet – Free Printables

Designed by Chris

This version is the simplest option I created, with large text for pre-K letter learning. Students can trace within the bubble letters, following the guidelines, before writing the word “next” in the large letters below.

This version also practices large letters, with the word “nurse” this time, while also offering children the chance to improve their penmanship and hand-eye coordination by asking them to finish the outline of the nurse image.

This version introduces three easy and common sight words beginning with n: nest, nurse and nap. I’ve created black outline images for each word to help scaffold reading and writing skills, but also so students can color the images once they finish writing the words.

This version introduces sentence writing. I created a sentence with lots of ‘n’ letters in it: “The next held the newborn wrens.” By practicing the letter in the context of sentences, students can learn that letters form words, and words form sentences.

This version gives Pre-K students the chance to practice the capital and lowercase versions of the letters in very large font. Through repetition, the students can come to build muscle memory in writing the letters. Have them practice the ideal pen strokes in the large bubble font at the top first.

I had a reader ask for worksheets with the format of “letter is for” at the bottom of each worksheet – so of course, I provided them for free for everyone! Let me know in the comments if you like this version.

This is our first version with horizontal handwriting lines. Horizontal lines can help children to write their letters in uniform size and shape, which can improve their neatness and overall handwriting skills. In this specific worksheet, students trace the uppercase and lowercase ‘N’ letters alongside one another, learning to identify the two forms as having the same semantic meaning.

This version is designed to show progression of difficulty within the one page. Students start by tracing the individual letters (lowercase and uppercase), then pairs them in the format Nn. Lastly, students place the letters in the context of a short word: not. Students have the opportunity to practice the word with both the uppercase and lowercase versions of the letter.

This version is all about practicing the individual letter multiple times, with the intention of developing muscle memory and fluency in both form and size. The horizontal handwriting lines are in place to help students to write the letter in a uniform size throughout.

This version is all about writing the letter in context, by placing it within short and common words starting with the letter. Students can practice the words nut, nest, and nail with both uppercase and lowercase forms of the letter.

This version steps things up another level of difficulty, asking students to write the letter free-form, without the dot tracing scaffold in place. Students aren’t completely on their own, though. They still have a model at the start of each line that should be replicated across the line. I have also left the blank horizontal writing lines in place to help with size uniformity.

This version helps students focus on one word, over and again, to help with improving writing fluency and, importantly, confidence. Students practice the same word 12 times in a row, 6 times uppercase and 6 times lowercase.
