Vertical lines
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the top with the dark dot and draw each line straight down to the bottom line.
- Trace the two dashed lines, then keep adding lines alone, the same distance apart as in the model.
- Try to keep all the lines the same height, from the top line to the bottom line.
What this worksheet teaches
Without dashes, a row of vertical lines becomes a test of spacing and consistency: every stroke should start on the top line, stop on the bottom line and stand the same distance from the one before. These are the skills that later keep letters upright and evenly spaced in words. For a 5–6 year old, the medium bands keep the strokes close to the height of real letters.
Variation to try
Counting fence: your child counts aloud while drawing each line in the free part of the row. In the next row, they try to fit the same number of lines into the same space, which checks the spacing.
