Loops Tracing Worksheet — Medium Patterns, Draw from the Model, 5 Rows, Ages 6–8
Tall rising loops, the shape behind cursive l, b, h and k, fill this 5-row sheet for ages 6–8; every row shows one solid loop and one dashed loop, then leaves the line empty.

Loops
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the bottom line, travel right and up to the top line, turn back to the left and come down, crossing your own line.
- Trace the one dashed loop, then keep looping alone along the empty band without lifting the pencil until the end of the row.
- Before each new row, look at the solid model again: the loop should touch both guide lines and keep a round, open top.
What this worksheet teaches
A rising loop combines three things young writers find tricky: a slanted upstroke, a turn at the top and a downstroke that crosses the upstroke. In joined handwriting the same movement makes the tall letters l, b, h, k and f, so an even row of loops is direct preparation for cursive. Copying from a model also trains keeping the loops the same height and spacing across a long landscape line without stopping.
Play idea
Loop and count: your child says 'up, round, down' for every loop and counts the loops in each row. Rows with the same total usually mean the spacing stayed even.
