Ellen Custom Name Tracing - Fill-in-the-Blank Free Worksheet
The rest of Ellen'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.
Ellen'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.
By the bottom of the page, every letter in Ellen 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.
