This free letter D tracing worksheet gives your child rows of capital D and lowercase d to trace, then blank lines to try on their own. Pick a line size for their age, print it on Letter or A4, and practice for five minutes a day.

How to write a capital D

  1. Pull a straight line down from the top line to the bottom line.
  2. Go back to the top, make one big curve out to the right, and come back in at the bottom line.

How to write a lowercase d

  1. Start just under the middle dashed line and make a small circle, curving up and around to the left first.
  2. Pull a tall line down the right side of the circle, starting at the top line and stopping at the bottom line.

Teaching tip for D

Lowercase d starts with a c shape, then gets its tall line. If a child starts d with the line, they usually end up with a b.
