Springs
How to use this worksheet
- Begin at the dark dot on the bottom line: up to the right, a tight turn at the top, then down across the upstroke and straight into the next spring.
- The first spring or two are solid; the dashes carry on to just past the middle of the row.
- In the empty half, keep the springs as narrow and as tall as the dashed ones. A row holds 17 to 22 of them.
What this worksheet teaches
A spring is a loop squeezed to about half its usual width, so each turn at the top has to be small and quick while the height stays the same. That trains the rhythm of looped cursive letters such as l and e, where loops follow each other closely. The half without dashes shows whether your child can hold that narrow rhythm alone; springs that spread out wider usually mean the hand is speeding up.
Variation to try
Wrap a pipe cleaner or a bit of string around a pencil to make a real coil, then pull it gently apart. Your child sees how the loops sit next to each other before drawing them.
