Handwriting lines have a top line, a dashed middle line and a baseline, from very big 20 mm rows for first letters down to 8 mm. Type words or sentences and they are printed in light grey on the handwriting lines for students to trace, each repeated as many times as you like, with the remaining rows left empty for writing on their own.
