How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot at the left end of the shaft and draw a straight line to the right.
- Lift the pencil, put it above the end of the shaft and draw the head in one go: slant down to the tip, then slant back down to the left.
- Leave a gap and start the next arrow. Nine to twelve fit in a row.
What this worksheet teaches
Every arrow repeats the direction of reading and writing, from left to right. The shaft is a straight horizontal line, harder to keep level than it looks, and the head is two slants meeting at one point, the shape of the "greater than" sign. Placing the head at the end of the shaft, not in the middle or far away, takes planning, so this sheet trains both line control and careful placement.
Play idea
Arrow directions: after the sheet, your child uses paper arrows on the floor to guide a toy or a sibling across the room, left, right, forward.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why do all the arrows point right?
Pointing right repeats the left-to-right direction of reading and writing.
The head ends up in the middle of the shaft. What helps?
Finish the shaft first, then look at its end before starting the head.
How many arrows are drawn from memory?
Seven to ten per row, after the solid and the dashed one.
