Baptiste Custom Name Tracing - Fill-in-the-Blank Free Worksheet
Baptiste's missing-letter worksheet works well after a child can already trace and copy the name confidently — it shifts the task from motor copying to genuine spelling recall.
Unlike a tracing worksheet, Baptiste's missing-letter version tests whether a child can recall the whole name well enough to fill in whichever letter is left out — a useful check after tracing practice has already built the motor pattern.
This is one of two new practice styles built on Baptiste's existing worksheet data — the other builds the name up letter by letter instead of blanking one. Both are available for Baptiste through the interactive editor too, under Style.
