Falling Leaves

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a prewriting practice exercise designed to help young learners develop their writing skills. It features rows of colored autumn leaves at the top, with dotted vertical lines descending from each leaf to an arrow at the bottom. Students are instructed to trace these vertical lines, starting at the dots located at the leaves. The sheet includes a space at the top for the student to write their name, personalizing their practice.

The worksheet teaches students the fundamental skill of drawing straight vertical lines, which is a basic stroke in many letters and numbers. By tracing from the leaves to the arrows, the students work on their hand-eye coordination and pencil control. The exercise prepares them for more complex writing tasks and helps them understand the concept of starting at a specific point and following a straight path. Additionally, the vertical line practice supports the development of fine motor skills necessary for accurate handwriting.
