What is on this handwriting paper

Each row has a solid top line and a solid baseline; 3-line paper adds a dashed midline halfway between them for lowercase letters. The row size follows the age band, with the tallest rows for Ages 3-4, and Narrow makes any size three quarters as tall. There is a Name line at the top. To copy a passage instead, choose Copywork.

Questions and answers

Is this handwriting paper free?

Yes. Make it, print it and download the PDF for free, with no sign-up and no ads.

What is the difference between 3-line and 2-line paper?

3-line paper has a top line, a dashed midline and a baseline, so lowercase letters have a line to reach. 2-line paper has only the top line and the baseline.

How tall are the rows?

From the top line to the baseline is about 0.7 inch for Ages 3-4, 0.55 inch for Ages 5-6 and 0.4 inch for Ages 7+. Narrow makes each of these three quarters as tall, so more rows fit on the page.

Can I print it in landscape?

Yes. Under Options, choose Landscape. The rows then run across the long side of the page, on US Letter or A4.

Can I put a name on it, or make it for a whole class?

Yes. Type a first name under Options to draw it on the Name line, or type up to 30 first names under Class set to get one PDF with a page for each student.
