Handwriting models to glue in the exercise book

Each word of your list becomes a strip: the model on the ruling of your pupils' exercise books, at its true size. A page gives one copy per child. You cut them out, each child glues the strip in their book and writes under it, on the same lines.

What you can set

  • One copy of each model per child of the list in Settings › My groups, a page of each, or the number you choose
  • Strips to cut out, or a page without cutting, its lines continuous, to glue whole or cut as you like
  • Rulings at the real size of exercise books: the four handwriting lines of 7, 5, 4 or 3 mm, where capitals and tall letters reach twice the body, or a single line
  • Coloured interlines if you wish, to show where the body of the letters, the loops and the descenders go
  • Each strip takes the whole width of the portrait sheet, the width of the exercise book
  • One or two lines to write under the model, if you wish
  • With or without the picture of the word
  • Capitals, print or cursive, with the fonts chosen in Settings › Fonts

Ways to use it

  • Gluing the model of the words of the week in the handwriting book
  • Each child's first name, on the lines of their own book
  • A cursive model for some, capitals for others

Frequently asked questions

Do the lines fall on those of the exercise book?

Yes, when the PDF is printed at actual size, 100%, without “Fit to page”. The ruling is drawn to the millimetre, the one of Settings › Display at first. Cut along the dotted line, which runs through a blank and never on a line. Then align the lines of the strip with those of the book.

How many strips per page?

As many as the page holds, one under the other. Each strip takes the whole width of the portrait sheet, the width of the exercise book. With a list of children in Settings › My groups, each model is printed once per child.
