    How to use this worksheet

    • Begin at the dot on the left side of the circle and go down, around the bottom, up the right side and over the top, back to the start.
    • Each circle stands on the bottom line and reaches close to the top line; leave a small gap before the next one.
    • Keep the same direction for every circle on the page.

    What this worksheet teaches

    The circles on this sheet are drawn counterclockwise, the direction used for c, o, a, d, g and q. Forming these letters the same way every time makes writing faster and joining easier later, so repeating the right direction builds a helpful habit. Copying from a single model also trains children to close each circle neatly, keep it round rather than oval, and space the circles evenly along the line, just like letters in a word.

    Play idea

    Face parade: turn every third circle in each row into a face with eyes and a mouth, and give each row a different mood: happy, sleepy, surprised.

    Questions and answers

    Questions from parents

    Which way should the circles go?
    Counterclockwise: start on the left side and go down first, as the start dot and the model show. That matches how many letters are formed.
    My child's circles are not closed. What helps?
    Ask your child to slow down near the end and aim for the starting point, like closing a door.
    Is seven rows too many?
    It is a lot for some children. Three rows, a break and then the rest keeps the circles neat to the end.
