Before using word tracing worksheets, your child should have a solid understanding of their alphabet letters and be familiar with writing/tracing the letters of the alphabet.

How to use word tracing worksheets with early writers
Tracing worksheets are no-prep or low prep, depending on how you decide to use them.
They can be used in a variety of ways at home or at school. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Use them for independent work
- Use them in a literacy center
- Use them with a library activity
- Use them in occupational therapy
- Use them in homeschool lesson plans
- Have your child or students "rainbow write" each word by copying it multiple times in different colors
This sheet can be used just for tracing words, or you can also have your young learners practice writing words independently.
There is enough space on most of the lines to write the word a second, or even third, time. "Stocking" is longer so there is a blank line underneath it for writing.
The words are not in alphabetical order, so arranging them into alphabetical order is a way to extend the learning with this worksheet.
How To Prepare Kids For Tracing Words
As mentioned above, you want to make sure your child or student is ready for tracing words. Introducing this activity too soon will just cause frustration.
Your child does not need strong reading skills to use this interactive worksheet. They do need a familiarity with tracing and writing the alphabet confidently.
Your child should also have solid letter recognition skills overall. Some confusion with reversing b and d is common at this age and not a cause for concern.
If your child is having trouble with alphabet tracing, make sure to use prewriting worksheets until their confidence and fine-motor skills develop. There are many prewriting and tracing worksheets available on the Artisan Life.
Your child should also show an interest in writing. If they aren't interested, you'll meet resistance and both of you will feel frustrated.
Make sure to provide appropriate tools for beginning writers.
Channie's preschool pencils are fabulous for little hands. They encourage young kids to develop proper pencil grip and help ensure your child's hand doesn't become fatigued too quickly.
