How to use this worksheet

  • Start each stroke at the bottom guide line and push it up and to the right until it touches the top line.
  • Keep all strokes at the same angle, like a row of trees bent by the same wind.
  • Lift the pencil after each stroke and start the next one at the bottom.
  • There are about twenty strokes in a row; take a short break after each row.

What this worksheet teaches

Diagonal lines are harder than vertical and horizontal ones, and most children copy them at around 4 to 5, so this sheet fits the age well. Keeping the strokes parallel trains a steady angle, which helps with letters such as v, w, x, y, k and A. Starting at the bottom and moving upward also trains a different direction from the usual top-down stroke, on medium rows about 1.8 cm tall.

Play idea

Hold a pencil upright, then tilt it to show what leaning means. Play a quick game: lean your body to the right like the lines, then stand straight again, before tracing each row.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Why do the lines start at the bottom?
On this sheet the start dot is at the bottom and the line goes up to the right, which trains an upward diagonal movement.
My child's lines lean in different directions. What helps?
Compare each line with the one before and keep the paper still. Slowing down helps too.
Which letters use slanted lines?
v, w, x, y, k, A, M, N and many others.
