About this activity

What your child practises

Skills: Tracing words.

Pencil control and forming letters and numbers the right way, starting at the right point.

What’s included

  • 8 lines to trace
  • An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 3–8. That’s Pre-K – Grade 3 in the US, Nursery – Year 4 in England, Nursery 1 – Primary 3 in Nigeria and LKG – Class 3 in India.

How to use it

  • Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
  • Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
  • Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

  1. Display finished work on the fridge or a class wall; an audience gives writing a real purpose.
  2. Let your child choose the topic, colours or examples – ownership makes writing far more motivating.
  3. Sit beside your child and read the instructions aloud; at this age the time together matters as much as the page.
