Number Tracing Worksheets, 1 to 20
Twenty rows, one per number, from 1 up to 20 on three-lined paper. The first nine are single digits; from 10 on, each row practices a two-digit number, which is where digit spacing and the reversal of numbers like 12 and 21 get sorted out. Runs to two or three pages depending on the line size.
Kindergarten and preschool.

FAQ
Why go past 10?
Teen numbers are where writing and reading numbers stop matching neatly: thirteen is said three-teen but written 1 then 3. Tracing 11 to 20 in order fixes the digit order by hand, which counting alone does not.
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.
