At ages 3 and 4, tracing is mostly about the hand, not the alphabet. Many kids still hold a crayon in a fist, and that is normal. The goal here is to get a pencil moving along a path, so a wobbly line is a good result.
Start with capital letters. They are made of straight lines and simple curves, which are easier to control than small letters. The sheet shows a blue start dot on each letter, so your kid knows where the pencil goes down. Pick the easy level, where the letters are big and most of the copies have a model right there.
Keep it small. Three or four letters in one sitting is plenty. A good first choice is the first letter of your kid's own name, then the letters that follow in it. Letters that matter to a kid hold their attention far longer than A to Z in order.
Try the vowels sheet if the full alphabet feels like too much. It has only five letters, one per row, which makes a short, finishable page. Let your kid hold the pencil in whatever grip feels natural for now. A tripod grip tends to come with time and lots of small drawing and playdough.
