Loops
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the bottom line and follow the solid loop: up and to the right, over the top, back down across the upstroke.
- Trace the dashed loops to where the guide ends, then keep the same size and spacing in the empty part.
- If a loop in the free half gets too big, pause, look at the dashed ones and continue smaller.
What this worksheet teaches
Half tracing is the step between following dashes and drawing from memory: the first half builds the rhythm, the second checks whether it holds. For a 5–6 year old, loops practice the crossing stroke and the rounded turn at the top, the movement of cursive e and l. Keeping the loops the same height between two guide lines is the same control that later keeps the letters of a word level.
Variation to try
Two pencils: trace the dashed half with a blue pencil and draw the free half with a red one. Afterward your child checks whether the red loops look like the blue ones.
