How to use this worksheet
- Start each circle at its left side, where the dot is, and go down and round counterclockwise to close it.
- Lift the pencil and start the next circle in the same place on its left side.
- The first circle in each row is solid; follow the dashes for the rest.
What this worksheet teaches
Counterclockwise circles are the base of many letters, including a, c, d, g, o and q. Medium circles are closer to letter size than large ones, so the movement comes more from the fingers, and closing each circle exactly at the start takes precision. Full tracing lets the child concentrate on the direction and on a smooth, round shape.
Play idea
Fruit bowl: after tracing, turn circles into oranges, apples and grapes with a stalk or a leaf and some color, then count the fruit in one row.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why counterclockwise?
It is the direction used for round letters like a, c, d and o, so practicing it now helps later.
Do the circles touch each other?
No, each circle stands alone on the bottom line with a small gap before the next.
My child starts at the top instead of the left. Is that wrong?
Not really; what matters most is the counterclockwise direction and a closed circle.
