Cold Fry Word Tracing Worksheet
A child who can already say "cold" aloud on sight is ready to start tracing it — recognition usually comes before the hand can reliably reproduce the shape.
Because "cold" is ranked by real frequency rather than picked for a specific lesson, a child who learns it gets a word that will actually pay off the next time they open a book, not just the next time they open this specific worksheet.
For a child who already spells most Fry words correctly, "cold" — 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.
