How to use this worksheet
- In each row, look at the solid model, trace the single dashed copy after it, then continue the pattern alone to the end of the row.
- Because the pattern changes from row to row, ask your child to say what the next movement is before starting.
- Keep the shapes between the two lines and the same size as the model.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing from a model is the step closest to real writing: the child sees a shape, remembers it and reproduces it without a guide. Here that happens six times with different movements, so the page checks memory, planning and hand control together. Keeping even size and spacing along a whole row is what later makes handwriting readable, and switching patterns keeps attention active, which is useful preparation for the first school year.
Variation to try
After your child has looked at the model in one row for five seconds, cover it with a sticky note and let them continue from memory. Uncover it at the end of the row and compare.
