The Trace & Learn series

Trace & Learn

Handwriting & pre-writing workbooks — pencil control, letters, numbers, and cursive to trace and write, ages 2–10.

The Trace & Learn line comes as three workbooks — one for every stage from ages 2 to 10. Handwriting that grows with your child: first pencil control for the littlest, tracing and writing letters, numbers, and sight words in the middle years, and joined-up cursive for older kids.

The three books

A book for every stage

Sprouts

Ages 2–4

Saplings

Ages 5–7

Trace and write the alphabet, numbers 0–20, and 40 first sight words on handwriting lines.

Branches

Ages 8–10

Joined-up cursive — every letter, the joins between them, and real dinosaur facts to copy.

Common questions about the Trace & Learn series

What ages is the Trace & Learn series for?

The Trace & Learn series is made for children ages 2 to 10, as three workbooks — one for each stage: pre-writing pen control at ages 2–4, print handwriting (letters, numbers, and sight words) at ages 5–7, and joined-up cursive at ages 8–10.

Are the Trace & Learn books coloring books?

No — they are handwriting and pre-writing workbooks, not coloring books. Each one is tracing and writing practice on clear guidelines, with a start dot and arrow so every letter is formed the right way from the start.

What will my child learn from the Trace & Learn series?

Each stage builds on the last. Ages 2–4 practice pencil control and pre-writing — tracing big lines, curves, corners, and first shapes before letters begin. Ages 5–7 work on print handwriting — tracing and then writing the alphabet, the numbers 0 to 20, and first sight words. Ages 8–10 move on to joined-up cursive — every cursive letter, the joins between them, and copying real dinosaur facts. Together they carry a child from first pencil strokes to confident cursive.

How many books are in the Trace & Learn series?

Three — one workbook for each stage: ages 2–4, ages 5–7, and ages 8–10, so a child's handwriting can grow from first marks to joined-up cursive.
