Description

Help preschoolers build the pre-writing skills they need for successful letter formation with this simple, hands-on A–Z tracing pack!

Instead of asking young learners to immediately trace complete letters, these practice pages break letter formation down into the basic lines, curves, and shapes used to form each uppercase and lowercase letter.

Children practice vertical lines, horizontal lines, diagonal lines, curves, circles, and other beginning pencil strokes before tracing the complete letter.

Perfect for preschool, Pre-K, home daycare, homeschool, morning work, writing centers, and fine motor practice!

Pre-Writing Letter Practice A–Z | Alphabet Tracing & Fine Motor Practice

What’s Included

This 26-page printable alphabet pack includes one practice page for every letter A–Z.

Each letter page contains four practice strips:

• 2 uppercase letter practice strips
• 2 lowercase letter practice strips
• Directional arrows and starting points
• Pre-writing strokes that correspond with each letter
• A complete outline letter for additional tracing practice

The strips can be cut apart and used individually or left together as a full practice page.

Build Pre-Writing Skills

These activities give young learners practice with the foundational strokes used in handwriting, including:

• Vertical lines
• Horizontal lines
• Diagonal lines
• Curved lines
• Circles
• Letter formation
• Pencil control
• Hand-eye coordination
• Fine motor skills

By practicing the individual movements used to create letters, children can become more comfortable with pencil control before moving on to traditional handwriting worksheets.

Easy, Low-Prep Activity

Simply:

Print → Cut → Laminate → Practice!

Once laminated, children can use dry erase markers to trace the lines and letters, wipe them clean, and practice again and again.

You can also use the pages without laminating for one-time pencil, crayon, or marker practice.

Great For

• Preschool
• Pre-K
• Kindergarten readiness
• Home daycare
• Homeschool
• Writing centers
• Fine motor centers
• Morning work
