Name tracing worksheets for Pre-K
A name is the first word most kids want to write. Type your kid's name and the sheet repeats it on every line, big at first, then lighter, then dashed. It is a small, proud first step into writing.

For a 3 or 4 year old, the name is special. It is the one word they already know means them. That makes name tracing one of the most motivating first writing jobs, because the letters are not random. They belong to your kid.
You type the name yourself, so spell it exactly the way you want it written. A capital first letter and small letters after it is the usual choice. Seeing the capital come first helps your kid notice that a name starts with something taller than the rest.
Choose the easy level. It has six rows with big models, so your kid does not have to squeeze into small spaces. Each row starts with a solid model, then lighter copies, then dashed copies. By the last line there is a blank space with nothing to follow.
Do a row or two at a time and stop while it is still fun. Before writing, point to the name on the page and read it aloud together, one letter at a time. That is already learning. When your kid tries the blank line on their own, celebrate it. Even if the letters are wobbly or backward, that first solo name is a big deal. Put it on the fridge.
