How to use this worksheet
- Each stroke starts on the dark dot at the bottom line and goes up and to the right to the top line, like a forward slash.
- Lift the pencil, move right and start the next stroke at the bottom again. About twenty strokes fit in a row.
- In the free part keep the same slant, and check against the solid strokes at the start of the row.
What this worksheet teaches
Slanted lines are among the last basic strokes children learn to copy, usually around four and a half to five, because the hand must move sideways and up at the same time. Keeping every stroke at the same angle and length takes careful attention, and the free half of each row shows whether that angle holds without dashes. Diagonal strokes appear in many letters and numbers, including A, K, V, W, X, Y, 4 and 7.
Play idea
Draw a cloud at the start of row 1 and make the strokes windy rain. In row 4 your child can turn every second stroke into a tiny slide by adding a small ladder line next to it.
