The first word they learn to write
A child's own name is the word they care most about writing. One page a name: the name solid at the top, dotted copies to trace, then the dots fade and the last lines are theirs.
Trace the name, then write it alone.
A name tracing worksheet generator, printable as a PDF. Type a name, or paste a class list one name a line, and every name gets a page of its own: the name in solid ball-and-stick print, rows of dotted copies on primary-ruled lines, a fainter row, and blank lines at the bottom to write it alone. Long names are drawn smaller so they fit a row; short ones repeat across it. Keep the capitals as typed, or switch to all caps or all lowercase, and pick a size for preschool, kindergarten or first grade. A teacher's twenty names print in one go.
1 token a sheet, fewer in batches.
