How to use this worksheet
- Zigzags (rows one and five): from the start dot at the bottom, straight up, straight down, with a sharp point at every turn.
- Fence (row two): a long straight rail through the middle of the band and short posts crossing it, each drawn from top to bottom.
- Vertical lines (row three) are separate strokes from top to bottom; small waves (row four) are quick, low ripples in one continuous line.
What this worksheet teaches
This page is mostly about straight lines used in different ways – diagonal in the zigzags, one long horizontal with short verticals in the fence, repeated verticals in the lines – with the small waves as the only curve. That makes it a good lesson in straight-line control, stopping at the right place and lifting the pencil accurately, all needed for capital letters like E, H, T and M. Row five repeats the zigzags for comparison. The medium size keeps strokes compact and closer to writing scale.
Play idea
Make the page a farm: the fence keeps the animals in, the zigzags become mountains and the small waves a stream. Let your child add one small animal next to the fence.
