Children trace the numerals 1 to 10, then trace and copy six short words they are likely to meet in their first readers (cat, dog, sun, mum, dad, the). The final section asks them to write their name, their age and a word they can read on their own. This sheet links handwriting with early number and word recognition, so it suits both literacy and numeracy practice at home.
