Say Fry Word Tracing Worksheet
Some Fry words, including "say", 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 already say "say" aloud on sight is ready to start tracing it — recognition usually comes before the hand can reliably reproduce the shape.
A child doesn't need to already know how to spell "say" to use this worksheet — the letters are laid out for tracing, which is exactly the step that comes before writing "say" from memory.
