How to use these worksheets

1. Sit at a table with feet flat and paper straight in front of your child.
2. Trace each line with a finger first, from the green dot, saying the direction out loud.
3. Then trace with a thick crayon or pencil. The first line on each page shows how.
4. Do one page a day, in order. Five minutes is plenty.
5. When lines are steady, move on to letter tracing and number tracing.
