How to use this worksheet
- Put the crayon on the dark dot on the bottom line, at the foot of the first solid line, and push up and to the right until you touch the top line.
- Lift the crayon, go back down to the bottom line and trace the next dashed line the same way; 14 to 16 lines fit in a row.
- Check each finished row: all the lines should lean the same way, like books resting against each other on a shelf.
What this worksheet teaches
Slanted lines are harder than straight up-and-down ones because the hand has to move sideways and upward at the same time. Children usually copy diagonal lines later than vertical and horizontal ones, often around four and a half, so fully dashed rows are the right support at 3–4. The same slant appears in the letters v, w, x, y, k and z and in capitals such as A, M, N and V. Keeping every line at the same angle is the beginning of even handwriting.
Play idea
Playground slides: each line is a slide, and two fingers "climb" it from the bottom line to the top. After tracing, draw a sun above the row and count how many slides the playground has.
