Vertical lines
How to use this worksheet
- Start every line at the top and pull the pencil straight down to the bottom – top to bottom is the direction used in writing.
- Lift the pencil after each line and move a little to the right for the next one.
- In the freehand half, keep the gaps between lines about the same as in the dotted part.
What this worksheet teaches
A vertical stroke is the simplest line, but drawing many of them straight, parallel and evenly spaced is real control work. The top-to-bottom direction is the one used for letters such as l, t, i and h and for the stems of b, d and p, so building the habit now helps later. Lifting and placing the pencil for each stroke trains the accuracy of the starting point. On this large card the lines are tall, so the child pulls a long stroke; half tracing then checks spacing and straightness without dots.
Play idea
Turn the lines into rain: when a row is done, your child can draw a cloud above the first lines and a puddle at the end of the row.
