Questions and answers
Is it free?
Yes. Making, printing and downloading a sheet is free, with no sign-up and no email.
Do you keep my child's name?
Not on this site's server. The name is sent to draw the sheet and is not saved or logged there. The PDF's file name includes the name. This browser remembers the first name so the sheet is ready next time; tap Forget it to clear it.
Which letters and lines does the sheet use?
US school print uses upright ball-and-stick letters drawn from Didact Gothic, an open-licensed typeface. Sloped print, an Australian school hand, uses Edu AU VIC WA NT. Each row has a top line, a dashed midline and a baseline.
Which size should I choose?
Ages 3–4 makes the biggest letters (capitals about 1.2 inches tall), Ages 5–6 about 0.9 inch, and Ages 7+ about 0.65 inch. If the letters feel cramped, pick the bigger size.
Can I add a last name?
Yes. After the first sheet appears, add a last name under Options. Each name can be up to 24 characters. Long names shrink to fit, and a long first and last name go on separate lines.
What paper size does it print on?
US Letter (8.5 by 11 inches) or A4: choose the paper under Options. For letters at the size shown, choose Actual size or 100% in the print settings rather than Fit to page.
Does it work with accents, hyphens and apostrophes?
Yes, for most names. Accented letters such as those in José, Zoë and Björn print, and so do hyphens and apostrophes. If a character is not in the tracing letters, the page says so and leaves it out.
Does the sheet show stroke order or arrows?
Yes, in US school print and cursive. On the solid letters, a numbered dot shows where each stroke starts and an arrow shows which way it goes. Arrows are on for Ages 3–4 and 5–6 and off for Ages 7+; you can change that under Options. Sloped print has no arrows.
Can I make sight-word pages or a reading log with the name?
Yes. Sight-word practice, a reading log, a word search and a bookmark are under More made for your child, each made with the name on it.
Does this site show ads?
No. There are no ads and no third-party scripts on this site.
