Springs
How to use this worksheet
- Put the pencil on the dark dot on the bottom line, go up to the top line, turn over to the left and come down, crossing the upstroke, then slide on to the next spring.
- Stay on the dashes to the end of the row; there are about 16 to 22 springs in a row.
- Pause only at the end of a row, then start the next one at its dot.
What this worksheet teaches
Springs are loops squeezed narrow, so the turn at the top has to be tight and the downstroke has to come back close to the upstroke. That is the precise movement of cursive l, and a good exercise for finger control even for children who will print. Full tracing at 5–6 lets your child concentrate on a steady rhythm and even height, and it shows whether the loops stay open instead of turning into scribbles.
Variation to try
Count the coils: your child counts the springs in the first row, guesses whether the second row has more or fewer, and counts again to check.
