Frequently asked questions
- What are the lines on handwriting practice paper for?
- Each row has three guides: a solid baseline that letters sit on, a dashed mid-line that shows where lowercase letters reach, and a top line for capitals and tall letters. The dashed middle is the key one, because it teaches consistent letter height.
- What row height should I use for young children?
- Start large, around 18 to 20 mm tall, so small hands have room to form each letter. As control improves, reduce the height step by step toward normal lined paper. You can set any row height here and print fresh sheets as they progress.
- Does this work for cursive as well as print handwriting?
- Yes. The baseline and mid-line guides suit both. For print letters they keep each character upright and the right height, and for joined cursive they keep the loops and tails even along the row. Set a comfortable row height and use the same sheet for either.
