How to use this worksheet
- Trace the dashed pencils and look at the even gap between the two long sides; it stays the same all the way from the eraser to the tip.
- In the free half, draw one long side, then the second one right beside it, close the eraser end and add the tip; keep the same slant and length as the traced pencils.
What this worksheet teaches
Continuing the row freehand asks the child to repeat parallel slanted lines at the same angle and length, pencil after pencil. It trains an even gap between two lines and a regular rhythm across the row, the same control that keeps handwriting evenly spaced.
Play idea
Sharpening time: your child picks the freehand pencil with the bluntest tip and “sharpens” it by drawing a new, neater tip beside it, then compares both with the model.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How far apart should the long sides be?
As far as on the dashed pencils — not so close that they touch, and not so far that the pencil looks like a ruler; the gap stays the same along the whole body.
What age is this worksheet for?
Ages 5–6: half-traced rows are a good step toward writing, because the child draws straight, parallel slants freehand next to a traced model.
What if the freehand pencils lean more and more?
Compare the slant of the last dashed pencil with the newest one; drawing the first long side slowly usually fixes the rest of the pencil.
