What Skills Can Your Little Ones Learn And Develop?
This letter tracing printable is designed to help your children practice and develop their prewriting skills, such as:
- Hand-eye coordination – to be able to understand what they are seeing and get their hands to go where they want them to
- Hand and finger strength – the ability to be able to apply enough pressure to make marks on the page and hold the pencil firmly
- Hand dominance – developing and strengthening the skill of one of their hands
- Letter formation – understanding what the letters look like and how to form them
- Pencil control – holding the pencil correctly to allow for a fluid range of movement
Many of these are vital fine motor skills that will enable them to become great writers in the future!

That’s pretty much it for this one – just print them off, grab some pencils, pens or crayons and they’re good to go! Their goal is to trace over the letters as carefully as possible and when they’re done, they can color in the picture.
Gently encourage them if they find it a little tricky at first – learning all these new skills takes time!
If you want your children to be able to use this letter tracing worksheet again and again, then laminating them and using a white board pen would be a great idea (whiteboard pens are also a little chunkier so can be easier for them to hold). Practice makes perfect!
Enjoy!
