Direct Fry Word Tracing Worksheet
A parent short on time can hand a child this "direct" worksheet and a pencil with zero setup — no typing, no picking a style, no waiting on a render, just a page that's already finished.
For a child who already spells most Fry words correctly, "direct" — if it's still shaky — is worth isolating on its own rather than folding back into a full-list review, since targeted practice on the specific gap tends to close it faster.
"Direct" is printed here in a clear, rounded style that avoids decorative flourishes, since ornate lettering can confuse a child who's still learning plain letterforms.
