Hours Fry Word Tracing Worksheet
Some Fry words, including "hours", 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.
Handwriting "hours" correctly the first several times matters more than doing it quickly, since early habits tend to stick well past the point where they're easy to correct.
A child who can recognize "hours" 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.
