How to use word tracing worksheets with beginning 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. "Ornament" is longer so there is a blank line underneath it for writing. Ornament is also the only slightly holiday-oriented word. My daughter's homeschool co-op class voted for it to be part of this winer words worksheet.

The words are not in alphabetical order. Placing them into alphabetical order is a way to extend the learning with this worksheet.

How To Prepare Kids For Tracing Words

Make sure your child or student is ready for tracing words before using this type of activity. 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. 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 a great choice 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.
