How to use this worksheet

  • Start at the dark dot on the left side of the first circle and go down, around the bottom, up and over the top, back to the dot.
  • Trace the one dashed circle next to it in the same direction.
  • Then draw circles on your own along the bottom line until the row is full; eleven to thirteen fit in each row.

What this worksheet teaches

Going around counterclockwise is the movement that starts c, o, a, d, g and q, so a steady circle at this medium size feeds straight into letter writing. Without dashes, your child judges size and gaps alone and keeps them the same for a dozen circles. Closing each circle exactly at its starting point is the small detail that separates a neat o from an open c, and it is what this sheet trains row after row.

Play idea

Turn the finished rows into bead necklaces: color the circles in a repeating pattern such as red, red, blue, and ask your child to continue the pattern to the end of the row.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Which way should the circles go on this sheet?
Counterclockwise: from the start dot on the left side, down, around the bottom and up over the top. It is the same direction as the letters o and a.
My child's circles get smaller toward the end of the row. Is that normal?
Very common when there are no dashes. Remind your child that every circle should touch both guide lines, and look back at the model every few circles.
What if the circles are not round yet?
Go back to a circle sheet with full tracing for a few days, then return to this one.
