Letter Tracing S to Z: Finishing the Alphabet

This letter tracing worksheet brings the alphabet home: the capitals S through Z, traced on handwriting lines with an empty space at the end of every line for writing the letter alone. It is the most dramatic stretch of the whole alphabet — S with its double curve, the crossing strokes of X, the three-way meeting point of Y, and the sharp slants of V, W and Z. The child traces each dashed model, then proves the letter solo in the final slot.

There is a reason the alphabet saves these letters for last. S is widely considered the hardest capital of all — one continuous stroke that curves one way, then immediately the other — and the V-W-X-Y-Z run is diagonal country, where every stroke leans and the angles matter. A child who reaches this page has already built straight lines, circles and bumps; this is where those skills get stress-tested. The empty finishing slot matters more than ever here, because these letters are the ones that most need the moment of truth: a traced S proves little, but an S written alone in the last space is the real graduation.

Print the PDF free, expect the S to take a few honest tries, and celebrate accordingly — after this page the child has traced the entire alphabet. The vowel tracing page makes a satisfying victory lap, and sight word practice is the natural next adventure for letters that can now stand on their own.
