What is a Slanting Line?
A slanting line is a straight line that goes diagonally from one point to another, either from top to bottom or bottom to top, without being perfectly vertical or horizontal. It’s like the lines you see in the letter “A” or the roof of a house.

Why is a Slanting Line Necessary?
Slanting lines are important because they help children develop early writing skills. Learning to draw slanting lines improves fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, and prepares kids for writing letters like “A,” “K,” and “V.” It’s a building block in learning shapes and letters.
