Name tracing and handwriting worksheets, from any word
Type a name and it is traced across the page: a solid model, then dotted copies, then an empty stretch of line to write it alone. The same for a word, a list of words or a whole sentence, in print or in three cursive hands, on paper ruled at the size your child is taught on.

What is on this sheet
A first name on ¾-inch paper, once per line: a solid model with its stroke guides on the first line, dotted copies to trace on the next four, and the last line left empty to write it alone. Type a different name and the sheet is the same sheet.
The builder link at the top of the page carries this sheet’s own settings, so the bench opens on exactly the sheet here rather than on a blank one. Change what you like and press print.
A sheet no catalog can print
A child's own name is the first word most of them write, and it is the one sheet a catalog cannot hold, because it is different for every child. So this one is made to order. The letters are drawn as strokes rather than set in a font, which is why a capital and the small letters after it sit on the same ruling at the right heights, and why the dotted model is the same shape as the solid one rather than a thinner face.
Trace, copy, write is the order across each row: a solid model first, dotted copies in the middle, and the last cell left empty. That progression is the whole point of a tracing sheet, since the model is taken away one step at a time, and it can be turned off for a child who needs every copy dotted for now.
The ruling matches the paper the school uses: 1-inch, ¾-inch or ⅝-inch with a dashed midline for the youngest, down to wide ruled for a child writing a sentence. The hand can be print, or a looped, an unlooped or a fully joined cursive; and where schools differ on a letter's shape, the single-story or double-story a, the straight or curved t, the shape can be picked.
A list of words works the same way, one to a row: this week's spellings traced rather than copied, or the first sight words. A sentence or a passage is written line by line down the page instead, with the stroke guides on the model if they are wanted.
The same name, in each hand
Each link opens the builder on this sheet. Type the name you want once it is open, and pick the ruling.
In the classroom
A class set is one sheet printed once per child. Set the copies and each one is a new draw of the same settings with its own answer key, so the two children sharing a desk are not sharing a page. The heading can carry a Class line beside Name and Date, and a sheet you have set up can be handed to a colleague or a parent as a link that opens on exactly that sheet.
Nothing needs a login, nothing is installed and nothing about a student is uploaded, which is what makes it usable on a school device that allows none of those: the builder runs in the browser, and a sheet saved on that device stays on it. Every sheet is free for classroom and school use.

Ten shelves and ten school years, over the same sheets. A shelf is what a sheet is; a year is who it was drawn for, which every sheet states on its own page.
