Certain Fry Word Tracing Worksheet
Some Fry words, including "certain", are short enough that a child can trace several repetitions in the space of a single printed row, which makes this a reasonable warm-up word before moving to something longer.
A child who can recognize "certain" in a sentence but hesitates when asked to write it alone is showing a completely normal stage of learning, not a gap that needs correcting urgently.
Practicing "certain" regularly — even just once or twice a week — tends to produce steadier recognition than a single long practice session followed by weeks of nothing.
