Letter Q tracing worksheet

The capital Q is a circle with a tail. Q is O with a tail crossing the bottom right.

Each row alternates Q and q so a child practises both forms of the same letter in one sitting — which is how it is taught, because the two shapes are learned as one letter rather than two. Say the letter SOUND as they trace rather than its name: that is what turns tracing into reading.

Words to say together while tracing: queen, quilt, question. Hearing the sound at the start of real words is what connects the shape on the page to the letter it represents.
