About this worksheet
Twelve two-letter words (an, at, in, it, up, us, me, we, no, go, so, my) to trace in joined cursive, the best first step from single letters to connected writing. Each word has a dark and a light copy to trace. Second graders usually finish it in 10 to 15 minutes.
Tips for using it
- Practice the small letters before the capitals, and the letters with the same start stroke together (a, c, d, g, o, q).
- Slant the paper a little, the same way the letters lean, so the pencil moves comfortably.
- Say "up, over, down" out loud while tracing: talking through the stroke helps the movement stick.
Printing tips
