y Draw the Curve

This y Draw the Curve worksheet is designed to help Kindergarten and early Grade 1 students develop accurate lowercase letter formation, handwriting fluency, and fine motor coordination. Students trace and write the lowercase y using numbered arrows and dotted examples, learning correct short strokes and descending tail placement while building alignment awareness, spacing consistency, and confidence with early writing skills.

Learning Goals

• Handwriting & Letter Formation (K-1): Practice correct lowercase y strokes, including tail extension below the baseline.
• Print Concepts & Alphabet Familiarity: Reinforce recognition of lowercase letters and their consistent written forms.
• Fine Motor Control & Coordination: Strengthen precision, grip, and smooth movement through repeated tracing and writing.
• Baseline & Spatial Awareness: Support accurate alignment and proportion of descending letters.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource: Designed by educators to align with early literacy and handwriting standards.
• Numbered Arrow Guidance: Clearly models stroke order and direction for accurate letter formation.
• Trace-to-Write Progression: Allows students to move from guided tracing to independent writing practice.
• Flexible Classroom & Home Use: Ideal for handwriting centers, small groups, intervention, morning work, or homeschool instruction.

This printable handwriting worksheet helps young learners master the lowercase y through structured, repeatable practice that emphasizes stroke accuracy and tail placement. By focusing on alignment, spacing, and smooth motion, students strengthen fine motor skills, visual recognition, and handwriting fluency. Suitable for classroom instruction or homeschool use, this low-prep resource provides targeted practice that supports early writing and literacy development.
