These alphabet tracing worksheets cover all 26 letters, capital and lowercase, on large preschool lines. Every letter gets two rows: a solid model with numbered strokes and arrows followed by dotted letters to trace, then a row where your child writes from green start dots. The letters are simple ball-and-stick print, the style most kindergarten classrooms use.
The full set is long, so print a few letters at a time with the Letters box (A-E, then F-J), or switch Letter case to start with capitals only. Capitals are made of straight lines and big curves, so many programs teach them first to younger preschoolers.
For one letter in depth, with words and a sentence, use the single-letter pages such as letter A worksheets.
Tips for using it
- Start every letter at the top. The green dots are placed so letters are formed top to bottom, which makes writing faster later.
- Laminate a page or slip it into a sheet protector and use a dry-erase marker for unlimited practice.

What age should kids start tracing the alphabet?
Many children start tracing letters around age 4, once they can hold a crayon with their fingers rather than a fist. Before that, drawing lines and circles builds the same skills.
Should I teach letters in ABC order?
Not necessarily. Grouping letters by shape (straight-line letters like L, T, I, then curves like C, O, G) is often easier. ABC order is still fine for review once most letters are familiar.
