Ages 4–5✏️ Pre-writing
Tower, bridge and mountain – pre-letter shapes for ages 4–5
Five rows of the shapes letters are built from: towers (straight lines with corners), bridges (arches), mountains (zigzag), bowls and small loops.
Done — the sheet is in your downloads
In the print dialog choose actual size (100 %) and black and white. Add a thick triangular crayon.
Why is this sheet for ages 4–5?
Both print and cursive letters are made of a few basic strokes. This sheet trains them on their own, without letters – so at school the child “already knows” them.
- Tower = vertical + horizontal with a corner (E, F, L).
- Bridge and bowl = arches (m, n, u).
- Mountain = diagonal lines (A, V, W).
💬 Tip for parents
Do not link the shapes to letters out loud — the child might start focusing on “writing” and pressing. Keep it a building game. The corners of the towers should be sharp: that is where the pencil pauses for a split second.
