Long lines shrink to fit the page. Short words and names print largest.

Handwriting tips for young kids

  1. Start with their name: it is the word they care about most.
  2. Show how each letter starts at the top line and moves down.
  3. Five to ten minutes a day is enough at this age.
  4. Laminate a sheet and trace with a dry-erase marker to reuse it.
