Letter Y tracing worksheet

The capital Y is a fork and a tail. Y forks at the top and drops below the baseline.

Each row alternates Y and y 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: yellow, yarn, yo-yo. Hearing the sound at the start of real words is what connects the shape on the page to the letter it represents.
