Slanted Lines Tracing Worksheet — Medium Patterns, Half Tracing, 5 Rows, Series C, Ages 5–6
Every stroke on this card leans the same way, starting on the bottom line and climbing up to the right; the dashes stop past the middle so a 5–6 year old finishes each row alone.

How to use this worksheet
- Begin at the dark dot on the bottom guide line and push the pencil up and to the right until it touches the top line; the two solid strokes show the angle.
- Trace the dashed strokes one by one, lifting the pencil after each, then keep going in the empty part at the same slant and spacing.
- If the free strokes start to stand up straight, look back at the last dashed stroke and copy its tilt.
What this worksheet teaches
Keeping a constant angle is harder than drawing a vertical line, because the hand moves sideways and upward at the same time. Slanted strokes appear in v, w, x, y, k, A, M and N, and the upward diagonal is the same movement as the joining strokes of cursive writing. Half tracing suits 5–6 year olds: the dashed half sets the angle and the gaps, and the empty half shows whether your child can hold them with no help.
Play idea
Windy rain: the slanted lines are raindrops blown by the wind. Once the five rows are done, your child picks the neatest free stroke in each row and goes over it in blue.
