Larry Custom Name Tracing - Fill-in-the-Blank Free Worksheet
Unlike a tracing worksheet, Larry'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.
The rest of Larry'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.
Larry'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.
