How to use this worksheet
- Start on the dark dot at the left end of the first foot and draw a short line to the right along the bottom.
- Swing up and out to the left, round the top of the arch, down the right side and in again, then finish with the second foot to the right.
- Five to seven omegas in a row are dashed. Keep the pencil on the paper for the whole shape and lift it only between omegas.
What this worksheet teaches
The omega links straight lines and a large curve without a break, and the curve bulges outward before turning back in at the bottom. That in-and-out turn is rarely practiced elsewhere. The shape is also good for rhythm: foot, arch, foot, then the next one. Big round arches prepare the curves of letters such as o, c and a, and joining straight and curved parts without lifting the pencil helps later with joined handwriting.
Play idea
Omegas look like horseshoes. At the end of each row your child draws a small horse and tells a short story about where it is galloping with its new shoes.
