How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot at the bottom of the first line and go up and to the right, to the top.
- Lift the pencil, move right and start the next line at the bottom again. All lines lean the same way, like /.
- Carry on to the end of the row, keeping the same slant and the same gap.
What this worksheet teaches
A slanted line is harder than a vertical one because there is no edge of the paper to compare it with. Keeping the same angle for 14 to 20 strokes from memory trains visual judgment and a steady hand. Slants are part of many letters, including A, K, M, N, V, W, X, Y and Z and the small letters k, v, w, x and y, so a confident diagonal makes those letters easier to form.
Play idea
Windy rain: your child draws a cloud at the start of each row, and the slanted lines are rain blown by the wind. If one line leans the other way, the wind "changed", so check it together.
