Boxed letters are one of the best tools for teaching letter size and placement, but every name needs a different pattern of boxes. So I built a maker that does it for you. Type a name and the boxes build themselves: tall boxes for capitals and tall letters (b, d, f, h, k, l, t), tail boxes for letters that drop below the line (g, j, p, q, y), and small boxes for everything else.
Built for how OTs actually teach name writing
Every page can walk a student from copy → trace → boxes → on their own:
Model row. The name printed in the first row of boxes, so students see exactly how each letter fills its box
3 support levels to fade prompts. Trace (gray letters inside the boxes), Trace 1st row (trace once, then write alone), and Boxes only (independent sizing)
"Now write it on your own!" line with no boxes, matched to the same line size, plus a green start dot
Level of Prompting checklist on every page (Independent, Visual, Verbal, Modeling, Moderate Assist, Maximum Assist) for quick data collection
1 to 4 boxed rows per page, so you choose the practice load
Made for whole caseloads and classrooms
