Kindergarten letter tracing worksheets
A letter tracing sheet, one page of the alphabet tracing set, takes one letter at a time, capital and small on alternate rows, as dotted outlines on penmanship guides with room after each to write the letter alone. Pick the letter above the print button; the sheet prints it in the print style kindergarten learns (L.K.1.a).

One page for every letter
Each letter also has its own preschool page, with its strokes in words, its sounds and, for most letters, a sheet of words that start with it.
The kind of words you'll practice
Trace the letter on each line. Then write it yourself on the rest of the line.

Each word appears twice in light gray for tracing, then once as a blank line for writing it without help.
This sheet doesn't change from one print to the next. The same choices always give the same page, so a whole group can work from matching copies.
What's on a kindergarten sheet
- Letter tracing. Trace the letter on each line. Then write it yourself on the rest of the line. 6 rows per page.
Every version prints on US Letter or A4, with its answer key on the last page.
How to teach this
Two letters a day is plenty. Trace the first copy with a finger before the pencil, saying the strokes aloud, "down, around". Print the child's own initial first: a letter that means something gets practised. The letter chart on the site is the wall reference for the rest.
Watch for: The whole page is one letter on purpose. Ten different letters on a page is a review; one letter, capital and small, six times each, is how a shape gets into the hand. Bottom-up letters look fine and stay slow. Watch where the pencil starts on the first copy of each row, not how the row looks when it is done.
Common questions about kindergarten letter tracing
- Can I print every letter?
- Yes. Choose a letter above the print button and print; change the letter and print again. Each letter is its own sheet, capital and small on alternate rows.
- Why dotted outlines rather than grey letters?
- A dotted outline shows where the pencil goes without covering the paper, so the traced letter reads as the child's own. It is the style most classrooms use.
- How many rows?
- Four, six or eight, chosen above the print button. Four rows suits a four-year-old's hand; eight is a full practice page.
