What is it

Worksheets teaching children the basic strokes of the alphabets in the days of the week, and encourage tracing and writing within boxes and on lines.


Teaching Objectives

  • Sustained attention and effort to complete tracing & writing worksheets

  • Develop better pencil control by tracing and writing within the given space

  • Gauge letter sizing and alignment through different layouts (bubbled alphabets, boxes, lines)

  • Practise and develop neater and cleaner handwriting for school readiness.

  • Learn how to trace and write different alphabet in the days of the week with the correct strokes.





How to use

  • Focus on a specific day of the week, and slowly build up from tracing, writing within boxes and lines to increase their familiarity.

  • Have your child practise tracing first with the correct strokes before writing

    • Get your child to point to the number prompts for forming the correct strokes inside the alphabet before tracing

  • Move on to worksheets with box and line prompts to practise neater handwriting 

    • Test your child if they remember the strokes of the alphabets when focusing on a specific day of the week



Teaching tips

  • If your child is just starting to learn how to write, thicken the lines and boxes to help your child develop awareness of staying within the guidelines.

  • Guide your child to trace the different letters along with you using his index finger before using a pencil

  • To input more practice, put the paper in a sheet protector and have your child trace & erase with the correct strokes using a marker & duster

  • Use a jumbo pencil or pencil grips to develop better pencil control

  • Making writing more fun by using painting tools, colored pencils or crayons, a magic invisible ink pen, or writing in sand.

    • Pair it with the “Days of the week” wheel and let your child choose which day they want to start tracing and writing.

Embed more learning opportunities

  • Receptive language –  “point to Monday” / “where is letter M?

  • Expressive language – point to a day and ask your child, “What day is this?” / “what comes before Tuesday?”

    • Help your child learn another language by getting him to repeat in a teaching language “Monday, Isnin (Malay)”, “Tuesday, xīng qī èr (Chinese)”

  • Spelling – cover the words with your hands and ask your child to recall the spelling of the days of the week

  • Teach your child how to read the days of the week by breaking down the pronunciation (e.g. “mon-day” , “tue-s-day” , “wed-nes-day”, “thurs-day”, “fri-day”)
