About this worksheet

Trace the classic pangram "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." in three parts, each followed by an empty line to copy it. The sentence contains every letter of the alphabet, so it is a full handwriting check-up. First graders can do it on their own once they know the strategy at the top of the page.

Tips for using it

Check the grip first: pencil held between thumb and pointer finger, resting on the middle finger.
Leave a finger space between words; let your child lay a finger on the line after each word.
Short, daily practice beats long sessions; stop while it is still fun.

Printing tips

Download the PDF for the sharpest result and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). The PNG is 300 DPI, which is handy for tablets and coloring apps. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
