Bridges
How to use this worksheet
- Start on the lower side at the dot, rise up over the arch and come back down to the line.
- Go straight on into the next arch – keep the pencil down for the whole row.
- In the freehand part, make sure each arch lands back on the lower line before the next one starts.
What this worksheet teaches
Medium arches are almost exactly the humps of the letters n, m, h and r. Practicing them in long joined rows builds the "up and over" movement those letters need, at a size close to real writing. For 5–6-year-olds, five rows of half tracing train rhythm and consistency: every arch the same height and width, all sitting on the line. Returning to the base line each time is a small but important habit, because letters that float above the line make writing hard to read.
Variation to try
Once the page is done, write a row of the letter n on the back together and compare it with the arches: the same movement, just with a straight line first.
