Claire Name Tracing Worksheet (Free Printable PDF)

How to write Claire, letter by letter

Claire has 6 letters and 9 strokes in all. On the worksheet each stroke starts at a green dot, and the first copy of the name numbers the strokes in this order:

1. C 1 stroke. Start above the middle on the right and go all the way round counterclockwise.
2. l 1 stroke. Start at the top line and pull straight down to the bottom line.
3. a 2 strokes. 1. Start just under the middle line on the right, curve counterclockwise and stop just above the bottom line. 2. Start on the dashed middle line on the right and pull straight down to the bottom line.
4. i 2 strokes. 1. Start on the dashed middle line and pull straight down to the bottom line. 2. Add the dot.
5. r 2 strokes. 1. Start on the dashed middle line and pull straight down to the bottom line. 2. Start just under the middle line, curve clockwise and stop on the dashed middle line.
6. e 1 stroke. Start just under the middle line on the left and go all the way round counterclockwise.

Tips for practising Claire

• Only the first letter, C, is a capital: it starts at the top line. The rest are lowercase.
• The tall letter l reaches up to the top line, like the capital.
• a starts with the same round movement as c: begin near the top and go counterclockwise.
• The dot on i or j comes last, after the line.
• For the very first tries, print the trace and fade page: the letters get lighter row by row until only the start dots are left.
