Theo Name Tracing Worksheet
Handwriting Theo 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 parent unsure whether Theo is "ready" for their child to trace can simply try a row or two — there's no prerequisite skill beyond being able to hold a pencil and follow a line with their eyes.
For families choosing between practicing Theo on paper versus a tablet app, paper tracing has the advantage of giving direct, physical feedback on pencil pressure and grip that a touchscreen can't replicate.
