Letter Y Tracing Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Start by pointing to the uppercase Y and naming its sound together, then have your child trace the dotted lines with a pencil, following the arrows if shown. Move to the lowercase y and repeat the same tracing process, comparing how the two versions look different. Have your child look at the pictures of Y words on the page, say each word aloud, and color the pictures once they've identified them. Finish by having your child trace the letter Y once more on any blank practice lines provided, without the dotted guide if they're ready for the challenge.
