Number Tracing Worksheets, 0 to 9

The ten digits, one row each, on three-lined paper. Every row starts with a solid model and continues with dashed outlines, so the child traces 0 through 9 several times before the row ends. Zero is included on purpose: it is the digit kids skip when they only practice counting, and the one they need for 10, 20 and 100.

FAQ

Why start at 0 instead of 1?

Because every multi-digit number needs it. Writing 10 or 20 is the first place a zero shows up, and a child who has only traced 1 to 9 stalls there. Ten digits, ten rows, and the pack still fits on one or two pages.

Which digits do kids reverse most?

3, 5, 7 and 9 are the usual mirror-writing suspects, and 6 and 9 get swapped for each other. Watch the first traced attempt in each row; the solid model at the start of the row is there to check against.

Can my child practice on a tablet instead of paper?

Yes. The Practice online mode puts a pen tool over the exact same page, so kids can trace with a finger or stylus, clear, and try again without burning through paper.

What age is number tracing for?

Preschool and kindergarten for the single digits, kindergarten and first grade for the teens. Large lines for a first go, Medium once the digits stay inside the guides.

What lines are these letters written on?

Standard three-lined handwriting paper: a top line, a dashed middle line at x-height and a solid baseline, with room below for descenders. Choose Large, Medium or Small line height to match your child's stage.
