letter tracing

Following letter shapes

Letter tracing is a handwriting exercise where a learner follows the shape of pre-printed letters, usually with a pencil or finger.

The technique builds muscle memory for forming letters correctly and is standard practice in early childhood education: The kindergartners practiced letter tracing before moving to freehand writing.
