Diagonal lines
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot at the bottom of the first stroke and draw up and to the right to the top line, following the dashes.
- Lift the pencil, move to the bottom of the next dashed stroke and repeat; every stroke has the same slant.
- The whole row is dashed, so focus on staying exactly on the dashes rather than on speed.
What this worksheet teaches
Diagonal strokes are harder than vertical or horizontal ones because the hand moves in two directions at once. They appear in letters such as k, v, w, x, y and z, in the numbers 4 and 7 and in capital A, and a rising diagonal is also the entry stroke used in many joined handwriting styles. Full tracing lets a 6–8 year old concentrate on a steady angle and clean starts and stops, building a reliable movement before drawing diagonals without help.
Play idea
Rain shower: each stroke is a raindrop in a windy storm. When a row is done, your child draws a small cloud at the end of it, and after the last row an umbrella for the mascot in the corner.
