Letter R Tracing Worksheet – Free Printables

Designed by Chris

This beautiful version is usually used for one of two purposes. First, you can give it to your child to practice tracing the R’s inside the bubble letters. Or, second, you can place it on the wall in a classroom as a reference piece for knowing the strokes for producing the letter.

This version is an add-on to the previous one, with the added activity of tracing the outline of the rabbit (then, of course, the child can color it in!) Dot tracing images are great for children’s penmanship because it helps them practice fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

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

This worksheet is all about helping students to understand that words are made up of single letters. With a focus on the letter ‘F’, students write a word with the letter appearing eight times: “Rabbits are really furry friends”.

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. If your child finds this one too easy, try the similar version with horizontal lines later on this page.

This simple practice worksheet offers beginners the chance to trace the letters inside large bubble writing, and then they can practice tracing the rabbit and writing the simple sentence: “R is for rabbit.”

From here on, the worksheets will have horizontal handwriting practice lines to help scaffold uniformity of letter height and size. This can help prepare students for word and sentence writing. In this version, students practice uppercase and lowercase versions of the letter side-by-side to stimulate association between the two letter forms.

This version has built-in progression on the one sheet. Students start with a lowercase line of R’s, then an uppercase line, then two lines combining the two. Finally, children can practice putting the letter into a simple and memorable word: rabbit.

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 using the letter R in the context of full words. Students write the words rabbit, rat, and rain – both with a lowercase and uppercase first letter. Overall, students practice writing words starting with R 11 times in one worksheet.

This version provides the next level of difficulty, where students still have the horizontal handwriting lines to assist with maintaining uniform height, but students must now practice the letters without the assistance of the dotted letter lines.

This version focuses on practicing one of the most common sight words starting with our focus letter. Students see a model of the word on the left on each line, and they need to try to replicate it on the right.
