Trace Capital Letters S to Z

This printable gives your child one guided row for each of the capital letters S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z. Every row uses the three-line handwriting guide found in most preschool workbooks: a solid top line, a dashed middle line, and a heavier baseline. The first letter in each row is printed a little darker as a model to copy, and the rest are lighter so they gradually feel more like the child's own writing.

S is the hardest capital letter to trace: a double curve that changes direction halfway, and it is fine if it comes out lumpy for a while. T is a post with a hat and U is a single cup, both quick. Then come the diagonals. V is two slanted strokes meeting at the bottom, W is two Vs side by side, which is worth saying aloud, X is two strokes crossing in the middle, and Y is a V that grows a stem. Z is the letter most often flipped; across, slant down, across keeps it facing the right way. This sheet holds eight letters instead of six, so the rows are the same size but the page takes a little longer, and it is fine to stop after V and come back.

This is sheet 4 of four. The rows are the same size and the guide lines are the same as on the earlier sheets, so a child who has done M to R will know what to do without being told.

Print this at 100% scale on plain A4 or Letter paper. If your child is still building grip strength, slide the page into a clear plastic sleeve and let them trace with a dry-wipe marker — the same sheet then lasts for weeks.
