Bridges Tracing Worksheet — Medium Patterns, Draw from the Model, 6 Rows, Ages 5–6 (Sheet 2)
Connected arches run like one long bridge across six medium rows; each row gives only one solid and one dashed arch before 5- and 6-year-olds keep the rhythm alone.

How to use this worksheet
- Start on the dark dot on the bottom line and draw the arch up and over, landing back on the bottom line.
- From the landing point go straight back up into the next arch, with no gap and no lift.
- Eleven or twelve arches fit in most rows; the last row is shorter because of the mascot outline.
What this worksheet teaches
At five and six, arches are no longer just a pattern: they are the movement of n, m, h and r at nearly the size your child will write them. The draw-from-the-model level removes the dashes after the second arch, so your child has to keep the height, width and roundness of each arch steady across a long row. Six rows give enough repetition for the rhythm to become automatic.
Play idea
After finishing, go on a letter hunt: look for n and m in a book title or on a food package, and trace them with a finger. Point out that each one is made of the same arches as on the sheet.
