Letter R tracing worksheet

The capital R is a line, a bump and a leg. R is P plus a leg kicking out from the middle.

Each row alternates R and r 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: rabbit, rain, robot. Hearing the sound at the start of real words is what connects the shape on the page to the letter it represents.
