Letter V Tracing Worksheet

Learning to write the letter V gives young children a letter built from just two slanted strokes: down to the right, then back up to the right, meeting in a sharp point at the bottom. The capital V and the lowercase v use exactly the same two strokes, so the only real difference is size. This letter v tracing worksheet gives children both forms on one page, seated on three-line handwriting guides that show exactly where each stroke starts and where the point lands. Practicing v also helps children hear the buzzy /v/ sound, which is easy to mix up with /f/.

This letter v handwriting worksheet is organized into three short parts that take about ten minutes together. In Part A, children trace four dotted capital V’s and then write four more of their own on the guides beside them. In Part B, they do the same with the lowercase v. In Part C, three picture cards show a volcano, a vacuum, and a valentine, and children trace the matching word under each picture. All three words start with the /v/ sound, so children connect the shape they are writing to the sound they hear. Print one copy per child, and encourage them to say each letter and word aloud as they trace it.

What’s Included

• 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
• Answer key
• 16 letter-formation guides plus 3 picture-and-word tracing cards

Three Reasons This Helps Kids

• The three-line guides do the teaching a blank line cannot: the dashed midline shows how tall the lowercase v should be, and the solid baseline shows exactly where the point must land
• Tracing before writing lets a child succeed on the very first try and then repeat the strokes from memory, which is how letter formation becomes automatic
• The picture words on this letter v tracing worksheet tie the letter to real vocabulary, building sound awareness at the same time as neat handwriting

Teacher and Parent Ideas

• Make a V with two fingers or two craft sticks so children see the two slanted strokes meet at the bottom
• Put fingers on the throat and feel the buzz of /v/, then compare it with the quiet puff of /f/
• Go on a V hunt around the room and at home for words like vest, van, and vegetables
• Pair this page with a valentine craft in February so children write V on a real card
