About this template
Each writing row has three guide lines: a solid top line for tall letters, a dashed midline for lowercase letters and a bold baseline, with extra space below for descenders like g, p and y. It's the classic layout for kids learning to print or write cursive, and just as useful for adults improving their handwriting.
How to use it
- Lowercase letters reach the dashed midline; capitals and tall letters reach the top line.
- Practise one letter family at a time (c, a, d, g share the same starting stroke).
- On iPad, zoom in slightly so the rows feel like a real sheet.
