    How are you trying to do this? With dotted lines? a stencil?
    tracing over their name like with trace and wipe page?

    I made worksheets for my students without dotted line, because
    I noticed they seemed to trace each dot/dash instead of
    making a continious line.

    I made the worksheets using light gray solid font, and in the
    beginning of the year I made the font larger and allowed them
    to trace with a marker rather than a pencil. Markers are
    easier to trace with in the beginning. Then later in then
    year I made the font smaller and they used pencils to trace.

    Here is an example of a worksheet that I used:
