Vertical Lines Tracing Worksheet — Medium Patterns, Draw from the Model, 7 Rows, Ages 6–8
Straight top-to-bottom strokes, spaced evenly like the teeth of a comb, run across seven medium rows on this sheet for ages 6–8; each row starts with two solid and two dashed lines.

Vertical lines
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the top line and pull the pencil straight down to the bottom line.
- Lift the pencil, move right by the same gap as in the model and draw the next line; keep going to the end of the row.
- Seven rows is a lot, so it is fine to split the sheet: three rows now and four later.
What this worksheet teaches
The vertical downstroke is the backbone of printed and handwritten letters: l, t, i, h, b, d, p and the number 1 all rely on it. Drawing it straight from top to bottom trains pencil control and the correct stroke direction, while stopping exactly on the bottom line builds precision. With seven rows and only a model to follow, children aged 6–8 also practice even spacing and a steady upright angle over a long stretch, the skills that keep writing tidy.
Variation to try
Number order: say a number from 5 to 15 and your child draws exactly that many lines in the next row, counting aloud; it links counting with careful spacing.
