Matilda Name Tracing Worksheet
The goal of a Matilda tracing worksheet isn't just penmanship — it's helping a child connect the sounds in Matilda with the specific letters that spell it, which is an early reading skill as much as a writing one.
This Matilda 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.
This Matilda worksheet was built to be handed to a child with no explanation needed beyond "trace the letters" — the layout itself makes clear where to start and which direction each letter goes.
