What Sight Word Tracing Worksheet
A child tracing "what" 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.
For Primer students learning "what", seeing it traced correctly the first time avoids the small but real frustration of practicing a misspelled version.
"What" is printed here in a clear, rounded style that avoids decorative flourishes, since ornate lettering can confuse a child who's still learning plain letterforms.
