How to make your worksheet

  1. Choose a ready set, or type your own numbers with a space between them.
  2. Choose the size and the lines for each number.
  3. Keep the start dots and arrows on. Numbers are started at the top, like letters.
  4. Print. Each line has numbers to trace and room to write alone.

Numbers that often get turned around

It is common for young children to write 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 backwards for a while. A start dot helps: every one of them starts at the top. If it is still happening often late in first grade, mention it to the teacher.

Count while you trace

Put that many small things beside the page: three buttons beside the 3. Tracing a number means more when your child has just counted it.
