Vertical lines
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot at the top of the first line and pull straight down, stopping just above the bottom guide line.
- Lift the pencil, move right by the same gap as in the sample and draw the next line from the top.
- Copy the model and the dashed lines, then fill the rest of the row, keeping the lines parallel and evenly spaced.
What this worksheet teaches
The vertical stroke is the backbone of printed letters such as l, t, i, h, b, d and k. At 6–8, the skill is consistency: every line upright, the same length, starting and ending at the same height, and evenly spaced. With only a sample to copy, your child controls all of this alone, the same attention needed to keep letters straight and the same size on lined paper. Seven rows also give plenty of practice in lifting and placing the pencil.
Play idea
Birthday cake: in one row, your child adds a small flame on top of every line to make candles, then counts how old the person with that cake would be.
