Steps
How to use this worksheet
- Start on the dark dot at the bottom of the band: the first move goes straight up, then across the top, down again and across the bottom.
- Follow the dashes until they end a little past the middle, then keep building the wall alone; a full row has 9 to 11 teeth.
- Say the four moves aloud, "up, across, down, across", to keep a steady rhythm.
What this worksheet teaches
Every tooth in this wall has four straight strokes and four right-angle turns, and each turn needs a full stop before the pencil changes direction. That stop-and-turn control keeps corners sharp later in letters such as E, F, L and T. With half tracing, your child must also keep the tops level and the gaps as wide as the teeth, using the traced part as the only reference. Judging size and spacing by eye like this is a key step before writing on lined paper.
Play idea
Castle guard: after each finished row, your child draws a tiny flag on top of the three most even teeth, then counts how many teeth the whole wall has.
