Pieces, sizes and taping
Each page prints in landscape. Large puts seven letters on a piece, so one alphabet takes four pieces and is about 40 inches long when taped end to end on US Letter. Medium puts thirteen letters on a piece: two pieces to an alphabet and two alphabets to a page, about 20 inches each. Small fits all 26 letters on one 10-inch piece, four to a page, with nothing to tape. Every piece that has to be joined is labeled with its number and its first and last letter.
Three examples
Capitals only in print, medium: A to M and N to Z, two alphabets on the page.
Cursive lowercase, small: four whole alphabets on one A4 page.
Large capitals without guide lines: A to G, H to N, O to U and V to Z.

Questions and answers
Is an alphabet strip the same as an alphabet line?
Both names mean the letters A to Z in order in one long row. A strip usually sits on a desk; a line usually runs along a wall, so it is longer. On this page the large size makes the long one and the small size the short one.
How do the pieces go together?
Cut each piece on its dashed line. Lay piece 1 to the left of piece 2 so the letters run in order, and tape the join on the back. The label above each piece names its letters, such as A to G.
Are the guide lines the ones on the tracing sheets?
Yes: the top line, the dashed midline, the baseline and the dotted line for tails, as on the site's tracing worksheets, so each letter on the strip sits where a written one would. Choose No lines for letters alone.
Is there a cursive alphabet strip?
Yes. Choose Cursive. The letters are the site's cursive letters, each drawn on its own in its cell rather than joined to the next one.
Does the strip have numbers on it?
No, only the 26 letters. Numbers to cut out are on the number flash cards page, 0 to 20 or 0 to 100.
