I want to repeat each phrase 3 times on the worksheet. How can I do that?

Does practicing handwriting improve letter formation and recognition in early learners?

Yes. In The impact of handwriting and typing practice in children's letter and word learning: Implications for literacy development, Ibaibarriaga et. al. concluded that "graphomotor action (regardless of whether it involved hand-copying or tracing) enhanced learning outcomes [vs. typed letters] in both alphabetic and orthographic posttest tasks... Participants in the hand-copying and tracing groups achieved the highest accuracy scores in letter naming and letter writing posttest tasks. They were also more accurate in word naming, word writing, and word identification posttest tasks compared with the two typing groups. Notably, the typing groups demonstrated relatively low levels of accuracy, particularly in the word writing task."
