How to use this worksheet

Begin each dashed square at its top left corner, where the dot sits on the model, and trace the top side first.
Then go down the right side, back along the bottom and up to the start.
After the dashed squares, draw the rest yourself, leaving a small gap between squares as in the model.

What this worksheet teaches

A square asks for four straight lines of the same length and four right-angle corners, all in the right order. Starting at the top left and going across first follows the left-to-right direction of writing and keeps the square from tilting. In large rows the lines are long enough to feel the difference between straight and wobbly, and the half guide shows whether the size stays even without help.

Play idea

Fish tanks: in each row, your child turns one square drawn alone into a fish tank, with a fish, a wavy water line and a few bubbles, and adds color to the water.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Where does each square start?

In the top left corner, going across the top first, then down, back and up.

In the half without dashes, the squares stretch sideways. Is that okay at 4–5?

Yes, it is common. Point out that a square reaches both lines and is about as wide as it is tall, just like the dashed ones beside it.

What does the half guide look like?

A solid model, dashed squares to roughly the middle of the row, then only the two lines.
