    Free Printable Christmas Word Tracing Worksheet

    Published: Dec 11, 2023 · Modified: Jan 4, 2024

    • Share

    This free printable Christmas word tracing worksheet is a great way to help students practice fine motor skills, letter formation, and vocabulary.

    In addition to Christmas words to trace, it also has space for kids to write their own word on each line so they can practice their new words. I hope you enjoy using this worksheet with your little learner!

    This printable worksheet was developed with kindergarten students and first grade students in mind.

    Younger or order children could benefit from word tracing worksheets, too, depending on their particular needs and the development of their small motor muscles. 

    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.

    If you need free letter tracing worksheets, be sure to check out this lowercase alphabet tracing worksheet.

    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.
