From paper to practice

How to use Look, trace & copy

Print your edited sheet, sit beside your child, and show one example before they try. Use a few rows or one small task at a time; there is no need to finish the whole page in one sitting.

You will need: A pencil and your printed worksheet.

  1. Look, trace & copy use example: Look at the solid name.

    Look at the solid name

    Read the example and notice the order and shapes of the letters. Keep this model visible throughout the exercise.

  2. Look, trace & copy use example: Trace the second line.

    Trace the second line

    Follow the tracing letters under the example. Demonstrate one letter slowly if your child needs help starting.

  3. Look, trace & copy use example: Copy on the empty line.

    Copy on the empty line

    Write the name on the blank line below. Compare it with the example together, then move to another section if your child is ready.

Make it work for your child

One complete section is enough for a short session. For less support, try Write on your own; for more support, return to Name tracing.

Print the sheet you just edited

Choose Letter or A4 to match your printer paper. Download the PDF and print at 100% or actual size. Check the preview before printing. For another child, change the name and add that edited sheet to your print pack separately.

Before you print

What is the look, trace and copy sequence?

Each of the three sections starts with a solid name to look at, followed by a tracing line and an empty writing line. Complete those three lines in order before starting another section.

When should we move to Write on your own?

Try that sheet when your child wants to write with fewer tracing examples. It keeps a solid model and two tracing rows, then provides blank rows. The model can stay visible while they write.

Can I download this worksheet for free?

Yes. Customize the name, paper theme and size, then download a one-page PDF, PNG or SVG. No account is needed. The PDF contains the current preview; the worked example below is a separate illustration.

How do I collect sheets for later?

Click Add to print pack after editing a sheet. Open the print pack in the header to review your saved sheets, change their order or copies, and download them together. Adding a page saves its current version; later edits do not change it.

Try another way to learn the name

Each activity has its own editable sheet and instructions. Pick a next step that fits what your child wants to try.
