About this chart
Every capital and lowercase letter on handwriting lines, with a picture for each.
What kids practice
Neat printing comes down to three things: starting each letter in the right place, making it the right size, and leaving space between words. Handwriting paper has a top line, a dashed middle line and a bottom line. Tall letters reach the top line, small letters stay under the dashed line, and tail letters hang below the bottom line. These sheets use the same lines every time so kids can see exactly where each letter goes.
Watch for
- Starting letters at the bottom, which makes them slow and messy later on.
- Making small letters as tall as capital letters.
- Mixing up b and d. Point out that b starts with a tall line, then the circle.
- Running words together with no spaces.
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full letter size and spacing guide for 1st grade.
