Anything: single words, spelling words, a sentence of the week, a poem or a Bible verse. Each line you type becomes its own practice block, and long sentences wrap onto the next line by themselves.

Can I make cursive handwriting worksheets?

Yes. Choose Cursive for traditional looped, fully joined letters, or Modern for upright cursive without loops. Letters join the way they would on paper, because the sheet uses real cursive fonts rather than a script font from your computer.

What do Trace + write, Trace and Copy do?

Trace + write gives each line one or more rows to trace and then an empty row to write it alone. Trace gives tracing rows only. Copy shows the line in solid letters with an empty row underneath to copy it.

Which line size should I use?

Large (¾ inch) suits kindergarten, medium (about ½ inch) suits first and second grade, and small (⅜ inch) suits third grade and up. If letters look cramped, go a size bigger.

Why are there empty lines at the bottom?

Any space left on a page is filled with blank handwriting lines, so children always have somewhere to keep practicing.

Pick a handwriting style and the line size that fits your grade.

Download the PDF. Long lists flow onto as many pages as they need.

Real handwriting, not a computer font

Print sheets use Andika, a typeface designed for children learning to read, with the single-story a and g they are taught to write. Cursive sheets use Playwrite, a family of school handwriting fonts, so the letters connect the way they do on a classroom wall chart. Every font is built into the PDF, so the sheet prints the same on any computer.
