Short words in lowercase letters to trace – ages 4–5

Five rows with short words in small letters: mom, dad, cat, bus and sun. Each word comes once to trace, with a dot after it to write the word again on the rest of the row. The letters are 15 mm tall.

Why is this sheet for ages 4–5?

First words in small letters – the way words look in books, not only in capitals on signs.

  • Five short words built from letters the child has already traced.
  • One word per row: trace it once, then write it alone.
  • 15 mm tall between three lines, with room for the tails.

💬 Tip for parents

Let the child read the word, or read it to them, before the tracing starts. Books are printed in lowercase, which makes this step matter more than it looks. If the child would rather write another word, let them – wanting to write beats the order of the sheets.
