How to use this worksheet
- o, a and m sit between the dashed midline and the baseline; l is tall and reaches the top line.
- o and a are counterclockwise curves, a with a short stroke down on the right; m is a stroke down and two humps; l is one long stroke down.
- Trace every dashed letter in the row after looking at the solid model.
What this worksheet teaches
Lowercase letters introduce height zones, the core of handwriting on lined paper. On this sheet o, a and m fill only the middle band, while l climbs to the top line, and tracing full rows makes those heights automatic. The letters also reuse pre-writing moves: o and a are counterclockwise circles, m is two over-the-top arches like the bridges pattern, and l is a straight stroke down.
Play idea
Make the letters from play dough: a ball for o, a ball and a short stick for a, a long snake bent into two humps for m and a tall stick for l. Then compare them with the models.
