Name Tracing

Dotted Name Tracing

In this style every tracing letter is drawn as a dotted outline instead of solid gray. Some children find the outline easier to follow, and it uses much less ink.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better, gray or dotted letters?

Gray letters are easier for the youngest children because the whole shape is visible. Dotted letters suit children who already know the shapes and need practice with pencil control.

Can I make the dotted letters bigger?

Choose the 1 inch line size. Long names shrink automatically to fit the page width.
