5-day set · Lines to letters
Trace lines, curves and shapes, cut, then trace the first letters. Each day has one worksheet, a little harder than the day before, and one short activity with no printing.
- 6 pages — the week plan, 5 sheets
- Color PDF
- Free, no sign-up
The first page is the plan for the week, with a box to tick each day. Every sheet also has its own page on the site, in color or black & white.

How to use the set
Print the whole PDF on Monday, or one sheet each morning. Keep each session short and stop while the child still enjoys it. If a day feels too hard, stay on the day before for a while: the guide Pre-writing and cutting: fine motor skills explains each step and what to do when it goes wrong.
