Printable handwriting practice paper, to exact spec
Three lines instead of one: a solid top line for ascenders, a dashed line at x-height, and a heavier baseline, with blank space below it for descenders. A child aiming at three references writes far more consistently than one told to write neatly on a single rule.
The x-height — the gap between the dashed line and the baseline — is the measurement that matters, and the one a school will specify if it specifies anything. Everything else on the sheet is derived from it in the usual proportions. 8–10mm suits early primary; by the time writing is fluent, 5–6mm.
This generates handwriting ruling only. No traceable letterforms and no name sheets — those need a licensed handwriting font.
Frequently asked questions
What x-height for a young child?
8–10mm early on, down to 5–6mm as writing tightens up. If the school specified a ruling, measure their sheet.
Why is the midline dashed?
It's a guide to aim at, not a line to write on. Standard across handwriting schemes.
Traceable letters?
No — ruling only. Letterforms need a licensed font.
