How to Create Traceable Worksheets for Kids

Small children benefit from working with traceable worksheets because it gives them a guide to follow. Too often, it is difficult for a child to make a copy of something, such as a letter, that they have not first learned how to form properly. The first step in making a traceable worksheet for kids is deciding what the theme of the worksheet will be. A worksheet can be either computer-generated or handwritten, but it must be very clear and bold, so that it can be seen underneath another piece of paper.

  Choose the theme for your worksheet. If you will be making a letter worksheet, for example, choose words and pictures that relate to the letter.

  Look online or in a workbook to see if there is one you can copy, without having to make it up yourself. There are many online resources that allow you to custom-design your own worksheets for your students.

  Create the worksheet by first using a pencil and a ruler to design the worksheet and then going over the worksheet with a bold black marker. You can also use a large font in a word processing program and print it out in very bold ink.
