Hartford City Tracing Worksheet

A child tracing "hartford" for the first time may go slowly and press hard on the pencil — that's normal early motor control, not a sign anything is wrong.

Tracing "hartford" works the same fine motor muscles as tracing a name — the pincer grip, the left-to-right motion, and the stop-and-start control needed to keep letters on the line.

Learning to write "hartford" alongside a child's own name and last name rounds out the basic set of words most early handwriting programs focus on first.
