Melissa Name Tracing Worksheet
Melissa traced today and Melissa traced again next week aren't redundant — spaced-out repetition across days is generally what turns a shaky first attempt into a name a child can write from memory.
A child tracing Melissa for the first time may go slowly and press hard on the pencil — that's normal early motor control, not a sign anything is wrong, and it eases with repetition.
This Melissa worksheet doesn't disappear after one use the way a photocopy run through a shredder does — printed on regular paper, it can go back in a folder and come out again whenever more practice is useful.
