Mathilda Custom Name Tracing - Fill-in-the-Blank Free Worksheet
Unlike a tracing worksheet, Mathilda'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 free worksheet prints Mathilda once per row with one letter left blank each time, moving to a different letter on every row — the child writes in the missing letter rather than tracing the whole word.
Mathilda'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.
