About This Worksheet
In Week 1 every stroke had dots at both ends. Here only the starting dot is printed, so your child decides how long and how straight each line should be. This step builds the control needed to write numbers without a full guide.
Pages 1 and 2 practise standing and sleeping lines, pages 3 and 4 slanting lines in each direction, and pages 5 and 6 curves, first with two dots and then with just one starting dot. A model stroke at the start of each row shows what to draw.
Skills Your Child Practises
- Starting each stroke from the right point
- Drawing lines and curves with less guidance
- Keeping strokes a similar length and size
- Growing confidence and independence
How to Use This Worksheet
- Point to the model stroke before your child starts each row.
- Remind them there is only one dot: start there and draw the rest themselves.
- Let them finish a row before giving feedback.
- Do one or two pages per sitting.
- Move to Week 3 when your child can draw each stroke neatly from one dot.
What’s Next?
Move on to Week 3 – Without Dots, where your child copies each stroke from the model with no dots at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
My child struggles without the full dots. Should we go back to Week 1?
Yes, a short return to Week 1 is fine. Repeat it for a few days, then try Week 2 again.
Should I correct every wobbly line?
No. Let your child finish the row, then point out one thing to improve. Too much correction mid-stroke can knock their confidence.
How is this different from Week 1?
Week 1 prints dots at both ends of every stroke. Week 2 prints only a starting dot, so your child controls the length and direction.
Can we skip Week 2 and go straight to Week 3?
Only if your child already draws straight lines and curves confidently. Otherwise Week 2 is a useful middle step.
