Steps
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the bottom line, go straight up, across the top line, straight down and along the bottom line; repeat without lifting the pencil.
- Dashes cover a bit more than half of each row; after that your child continues the same steps on the empty band.
- Make every corner a real right angle: stop, turn and go on, instead of rounding the turn.
What this worksheet teaches
This pattern is a long chain of right angles, so it trains stopping and changing direction at exact points and drawing straight vertical and horizontal lines between them. Square corners like these appear in capital letters such as E, F, H, L and T. Half tracing at 6–8 is a bridge between following and copying: the first part of the row sets the rhythm, and the second part shows whether your child can keep equal step widths and heights alone.
Play idea
Castle wall: when a row is finished, your child adds a tiny flag on top of every second tower and counts the flags. Missing or wobbly towers are easy to spot and fix in the next row.
