Ian Custom Name Tracing - Fill-in-the-Blank Free Worksheet
By the bottom of the page, every letter in Ian 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.
This is one of two new practice styles built on Ian's existing worksheet data — the other builds the name up letter by letter instead of blanking one. Both are available for Ian through the interactive editor too, under Style.
Unlike a tracing worksheet, Ian'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.
