Frequently Asked Questions about Handwriting Worksheets
Which lines should I choose?
Montessori lines give the most guidance for learning letter shapes. 3.5 mm double lines are the classic notebook lines for pupils who already control their strokes.
Can I make a worksheet with my pupils' names?
Yes. Choose “Your own text”, write one name per line and each name becomes a row to trace and copy.
Why is there no answer key?
In handwriting the model is the answer: each row starts with the letter or word written correctly so pupils can compare.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. The worksheet is generated in your browser and your text never leaves your computer.
