Dela Cruz Last Name Tracing Worksheet

A child tracing "dela cruz" 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.

Tracing "dela cruz" works the same fine motor muscles as tracing a first name — the pincer grip, the left-to-right motion, and the stop-and-start control needed to keep letters on the line.

A child learning to write "dela cruz" benefits from the same repeated tracing practice used for first names — a last name is just as often needed on forms and schoolwork.
