Loops
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the lower side, go up and over at the top of the loop and come back down, crossing your own line.
- Run straight into the next loop – the whole row is one line.
- In the freehand part, keep the loops open, with a visible space inside, and about as tall as the band.
What this worksheet teaches
Loops are at the heart of joined handwriting: cursive letters like l, e, b, h and k all use a loop, and the same movement links many letters together. At 5–6, practicing loops at medium size prepares the hand for the scale of real writing, with a smaller, finger-driven movement. Five rows of half tracing train fluency: an even rhythm and spacing without dots. Loops also make the stroke cross itself cleanly, a good exercise in control and in noticing the shape the pencil has just drawn.
Play idea
Write your child's name in joined letters above the page and look together for letters with loops – then spot loops in the title of a favorite storybook.
