Uppercase letter tracing worksheets, cursive, preschool

Printable cursive tracing worksheets covering the 26 capital letters, 0.66 inch letters, 5 sheets on US Letter and A4.

This set covers the 26 capital letters, one per row, across 5 sheets. Letters are about 0.66 of an inch tall measured to the top writing line. Half the toddler height: small enough to fit more practice on a sheet, large enough that the hand is still learning the shape rather than the size.

The letters to trace are broken outlines, so the hand carries the stroke between marks rather than following a solid shape.

Each row has a solid top line, a dashed middle line at the x-height and a solid baseline. The middle line is what makes letter proportion teachable: a letter that overshoots it is wrong in a way a child can see without being told.

Cursive is normally introduced once print letters are formed reliably. These sheets present one letter at a time rather than joined into words, because the first thing to learn is each letter's shape and its entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are Playwrite Us Trad.
