ABC Roll and Trace

Each board directs learners to roll a die, locate the corresponding column, and trace a letter in that column until one path reaches the top. Across ten supplied pages, the repeated game structure changes the letter forms available for practice. Chance determines the tracing sequence, which can sustain attention while still producing many handwriting repetitions. The exact board-by-board letter inventory remains held for visual confirmation.
