Father Fry Word Tracing Worksheet
A child working alphabetically through a class list of Fry words will eventually reach "father"; this page exists so that specific moment doesn't require generating anything from scratch.
A child doesn't need to already know how to spell "father" to use this worksheet — the letters are laid out for tracing, which is exactly the step that comes before writing "father" from memory.
Because "father" 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.
