Trace and Write Simple Sentences Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Read the first dotted sentence aloud together so your child hears the whole thought before writing it. Have them trace over the dotted letters slowly, keeping consistent spacing between words as they go. Once traced, ask your child to write the same sentence independently on the blank line below, sounding out any tricky words as needed. Repeat this trace-then-write process for each remaining sentence, reading every finished sentence aloud together as a final check.
