Trace Hard Words!
Follow the dotted lines and practise challenging 5-letter words
Ready for a bigger challenge? This page features 5-letter words designed to help children expand their vocabulary and improve hand control as they trace longer words right on the screen.
Every word section on this page shows the word clearly on one side, followed by several dotted outlines to trace - just like the tracing books used in schools, but right in the browser. Children can trace with a mouse, a finger, or a stylus on a tablet.
There is no scoring and no pressure to be perfect - the goal is simply repetition, tracing the same longer word several times until the hand masters the complete shape.
