Sipho Custom Name Tracing - Fill-in-the-Blank Free Worksheet
Unlike a tracing worksheet, Sipho'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.
By the bottom of the page, every letter in Sipho has had its turn being the blank one, so the worksheet covers the full spelling of the name, not just its first letter or its overall shape.
The rest of Sipho's letters stay printed and visible on every row, so the exercise stays focused on one missing letter at a time rather than asking a child to reconstruct the whole word from memory.
