Tree Ladder Lines

Students draw a ladder by creating vertical lines first, followed by horizontal lines, on the faded grid beside the tree. This reinforces pre-writing sequencing and teaches students to understand line orientation. The need to place horizontal bars evenly across the ladder requires spatial planning and coordination. The nature setting and the child observing the tree add relevance to the task, encouraging students to “climb” the tree through their pencil strokes. This activity strengthens both vertical and horizontal line mastery-core components for many letters.
