Looking for letter writing worksheets for children

ottytotty

Hi,

was wondering if anyone could help me.
I am looking for writing practice worksheets for a 4 year old, the ones where they trace the dots to form letters then progress along the line to writing it themselves, hope I have explained that clearly enough!
I was hoping to find some free online that I could print off and practice but have hand no luck in my searches so far.

Thank you

ELC do some great Phonics workbooks. Not so MSE, but not expensive either!

Wow that was quick, thank you. I shall have a look at that site. We tried to get the ELC books before Christmas but they didn't have any left. I shall try again tomorrow though, thanks.
EDIT: Just had a look on that site and it is exactly what I've been looking for so thank you, that's my task for tonight! The school nursery has recommended getting those ELC books too so I'm going to treat her to those too if they have them in stock.

And a resource where you can print off workbooks where they can trace and then copy words (or you can make up your own too if you prefer):

Most pre-schools, nurseries and schools have these they can hand out for free. They are used in lessons to help kids form letters in the right way. As an extra tip ask the teacher to show you where the kids should learn to add small tails to the beginning or end of letters. This helps them when they learn to do joined up writing.

I used this web site a lot: www.sparklebox.co.uk it is a teachers resource site so has lots of idea's.

If your LO is starting school this Sept & you have a school you are probably going to get into then ask at their office. There are several ways of writing the letters & you may "teach" your LO one way & find they learn something else at school.

I taught my eldest without the cursive bits on the end of letters & her school uses them so DD2 who is starting this year is having cursives from the start!

I found some in Tescos.

OMG I did not know that - well I won't be using it again.

I was told about the site a few years ago by a friend who is a teacher so I am not really in the know! Thanks for telling me!
