Ages 5–6🔤 Letter tracing
Letter U tracing worksheet for ages 5–6
Uppercase U: in one stroke, down, around the curve and back up. The sheet has a big model with arrows, a row to trace, a row to try alone and the words UP, UNDER and UNCLE.
Done — the sheet is in your downloads
In the print dialog choose actual size (100 %) and black and white. Add a thick triangular crayon.
Why is this sheet for ages 5–6?
U has a curve. A curve needs a smooth stroke and more finger control than a straight line, so it comes after the straight-line capitals.
- Strokes: in one stroke, down, around the curve and back up.
- The model shows stroke order and direction: top to bottom and left to right, the way print is taught in school.
- The words UP, UNDER and UNCLE give the letter a sound and a meaning – trace them and read them together.
💬 Tip for parents
One sheet, five minutes, a thick triangular crayon. If U is in your child's name or a family member's, say so – it will matter more at once. Praise starting at the dot and following the arrow, not how the letter looks.
