How to use this worksheet
- The dark dot sits on the left side of the first circle. Go down, around the bottom, up the right side and over the top back to the dot.
- Close each circle where it started, lift the pencil and begin the next one at its left side.
- Every circle touches the bottom line and reaches up to the top line.
What this worksheet teaches
The circles on this sheet turn counterclockwise, the direction used for printed a, c, d, g, o and q. Getting that direction automatic early saves a lot of relearning later. Closing a circle exactly where it began takes control of the end of the movement, not just the start. Most children can copy a circle by about three, but drawing them small, round and evenly spaced is a real task at four and five, and the half-tracing level checks exactly that.
Play idea
Make row 6 into a caterpillar: add a head with two feelers to the first circle and small legs under the rest. Then count its body segments together.
