Trace and Write the Letter R Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Trace the dotted lines to form the letter R, following the straight line down, the rounded bump, and the diagonal leg kicking out at the bottom. Once your child is comfortable with the guided tracing, have them practice writing the letter R independently on the provided lines. Talk about R words together, like rainbow or rabbit, as they work. Let them color any pictures on the page and try writing R again in playdough or sand for extra practice.
