Learning to write lowercase letters is a big step for young learners — and often trickier than uppercase! With 7 starting points to learn (compared with 2 in uppercase) and a wider variety of lines to draw, occupational therapists recommend teaching uppercase first. However, with lowercase being used and seen far more often, some educators still prefer to begin with lowercase.
Our 100+ Free PDF lowercase letter tracing worksheets are carefully designed to support developing motor skills, visual recognition, and early writing confidence.

Learning how capital and small letters relate is an exciting step in a child’s writing journey. Our uppercase and lowercase tracing worksheets help children confidently connect the two — building fluency and letter recognition at the same time.
Each worksheet includes letter pairs like Aa, Bb, Cc and so on, helping learners master both versions side by side. These sheets are especially helpful once your child has practiced uppercase or lowercase on their own and is ready to integrate them together.
