Diagonal lines
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot at the bottom of the first line and draw up and to the right toward the top line.
- Lift, go back down to the bottom line a short distance to the right and draw the next slant parallel to the first.
- Keep every line at the same angle as the sample; about 20 to 24 slants fit in a row.
What this worksheet teaches
Slanted lines are harder than vertical ones because the pencil moves in two directions at once. Keeping twenty or more slants parallel, equally long and evenly spaced without dashes trains precise control of angle, the skill behind the diagonals in k, v, w, x, y, z and A. Drawing them upward from the baseline also practices the direction of the connecting strokes that lead into many letters in cursive writing.
Variation to try
Candy stripes: in the last row, your child colors every second gap between the slants, turning the row into a striped candy-cane band.
