Vertical lines
How to use this worksheet
- Start each line at the top, on the dark dot for the first one, and pull the pencil straight down to the bottom line.
- Lift the pencil, move to the top of the next dashed line and repeat; the solid model shows the first two lines.
- Keep every line upright, not leaning left or right, and stop exactly on the bottom line.
What this worksheet teaches
A vertical line drawn from top to bottom is part of many letters and numbers, among them l, t, h, b, d, i and 1, and top to bottom is the direction taught for handwriting. The large bands make the lines long, so a 5–6 year old practices keeping a stroke straight for its whole length and stopping exactly on the bottom line. Lifting the pencil and restarting at the top also trains a precise start, which keeps letters tidy later.
Play idea
Guard parade: every line is a soldier standing at attention. After each row, your child gives a tall hat to the straightest soldier and a small flag to the one at the end.
