Eleanor Name Tracing Worksheet
Handwriting Eleanor correctly the first several times matters more than doing it quickly, since early habits (letter formation, stroke direction) tend to stick well past the point where they're easy to correct.
A worksheet for Eleanor that a child colors in around the edges after finishing the tracing rows is still doing its job — the practice happened during the tracing itself, and the rest is just a child making the page their own.
Tracing Eleanor at a table rather than lying on the floor tends to give a child steadier control of the pencil — posture and a flat, stable surface make a bigger difference to legibility than most people expect.
