About this sheet
What is on the page, and how to get the most out of it.
Five rows: one large single arc, a row of sharp mountain peaks, tight vertical scallops, a row of spirals, and a rolling wave along the bottom.
The first row is unlike anything else in the set. It is one large arc taking up the whole width of the page, a single stroke with no repetition at all. Every other row asks a child to repeat a small shape; this one asks for one long committed movement.
That is worth watching, because repetition hides things. A child can produce twenty small acceptable zigzags without much control, since each one is short enough to get away with. One long arc has nowhere to hide, and how smooth it comes out tells you more about hand control than the rest of the sheet combined.
The spirals in the fourth row are the other standout. A spiral is a loop that keeps tightening, so the hand has to reduce the size of its movement continuously rather than repeat it.
What your child practises
One long committed arc and a row of tightening spirals, both of which show control clearly.
- Drawing one long uninterrupted curve
- Tightening a movement continuously
- Tracing tightly spaced vertical scallops
- Committing to a stroke without stopping
Common questions
Why is one big arc harder than a row of zigzags?
Repetition hides a lot. Short shapes are over quickly enough to get away with, while a single long curve shows exactly how steady the hand really is.
What does the spiral row practise?
Reducing the size of a movement continuously rather than repeating the same one. It is a different demand from any other row in the set.
