Tips for using it

Start large

Preschoolers do best with the large lines and dotted letters. Move to medium lines once they can stay between the top line and the baseline.

Capital first, then lowercase

Most classrooms teach the name with only the first letter capitalized, the way the child will write it on papers: Olivia, not OLIVIA.

One sheet a day

A few minutes of tracing every day works better than a long session. Laminate a sheet and use a dry-erase marker to reuse it.

Can I make a worksheet for a whole class?

Type one name, print, then change the name and print again. Each name takes a few seconds.
