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

Yes — the standard tracing worksheet asks a child to trace Jill directly. This version already prints the letters and only asks for the one missing each row, testing recall rather than motor copying.
