Loops
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the bottom line, go up and to the right, curve back to the left at the top and come down across your own line.
- At the bottom, flow straight into the next loop without stopping; 9 to 12 loops fill each row.
- Trace each row in one smooth pass if you can, lifting the pencil only at the end.
What this worksheet teaches
The loop combines three skills that joined handwriting relies on: an upward slanted stroke, a turn at the top and a return that crosses the upstroke. Cursive letters like l, e, b, h and k grow from this movement, so tracing loops fluently is direct preparation for joining letters. For children who already print, full tracing helps them relax the grip and keep the pencil moving, which often makes writing faster and less tiring.
Play idea
Roller coaster: the pencil is a roller coaster car that must not stop until the end of the track. Each row is a new ride, and your child gives every ride a name.
