Letter R Tracing Worksheet for Preschoolers: Learn to Write & Identify Words

How to use this worksheet

Start by having your child trace the large model letter R at the top of the page, saying the 'ruh' sound as they trace. Move on to the dotted letters, encouraging them to follow the same stroke direction each time. Have them trace the letter R along the practice lines further down the page, writing it independently once they feel confident. Finish by having your child color the pictures that start with the letter R, naming each picture aloud as they color it in.
