Preschool Core grade
Type a name and it prints the same sheet every time. You don't need to sign up.
Examples and teaching notesA name tracing generator makes the sheet for one child. A three or four year old's name is the first word they want to write. This sheet prints it as a dotted outline on wide penmanship guides, one row per line, with room to try it alone after the trace. Type the name above the print button, or let the sheet choose one.

Examples and teaching notesThis is a name tracing generator: it makes the sheet for one child. A kindergartener's first written word is almost always their own name. This sheet prints that name as a dotted outline on penmanship guides, one row per line, with room to write it alone after the trace. Type the name above the print button, or let the sheet choose one.

1st grade
Type a name and it prints the same sheet every time. You don't need to sign up.
Examples and teaching notesFirst graders write their name smaller and steadier, and many start on cursive at home. The same sheet prints the name in manuscript print or in school cursive, on the same guides, so the letters they know in one style can be traced in the other.
