One line drawn, the rest to trace
The patterns a handwriting book starts with — arches, zigzags, castles, loops — each a thin line across the page, shown once and then dotted.
Watch the model, then follow the dots.
A tracing patterns worksheet generator, printable as a PDF. Each row is one pre-writing pattern across the page: arches, garlands, waves, zigzags, spikes, castles, tall-and-short arches, the Greek key, and loops big and small. The first stretch is drawn solid, the model, starting at a dot; the rest of the row is dotted to trace. Big patterns in six rows for preschool, eight medium rows, or nine small rows that add the Greek key and loops; the rows come in a new order on every sheet. For the next step after Trace the Line, without the road.
1 token a sheet, fewer in batches.
