About this worksheet

Short words like cat, dog and sun with a picture, traced once and then written on the same line.

What kids practice

Copying a word means looking at it, holding it in your head and writing each letter in order. It builds letter writing, spelling and reading at the same time.

Watch for

  • Writing the letters in the wrong order. Say the sounds slowly.
  • Mixing capital and lowercase letters in one word.
  • Making letters very different sizes. The handwriting lines help.

It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page. See the full copying simple words guide for kindergarten.
