8.5" × 11", about 80 KB, no sign-up. The lines are 1" from top to bottom, the Trace Press setting for ages 4–5. A small footer line on each page says where it came from.
What is on each page
- The capital and the lowercase letter, large and solid, to look at.
- Rows of grey capitals and grey lowercase letters, in turn, to trace.
- Four-line handwriting guides on every row: a top line, a dashed midline, a solid baseline, and a dotted line below it for tails.
The letters are the Playwrite US Trad font, a traditional American cursive, free under the SIL Open Font License. There are no start dots or stroke arrows on cursive pages: the solid letter at the top is the model. Schools that teach a different cursive model will show some capitals differently.
Learning print first? The letter tracing worksheets are the same 26 pages in print, with numbered start dots and stroke arrows.
Joined words, other sizes, a whole book
In Trace Press, set Handwriting to Cursive. The whole book turns cursive, the numbers 0 to 9 too, and any practice words you add are written joined, every letter connected the way the font connects it, with empty rows at the end to write the word alone. Choose any of four line sizes and six page sizes. It's free, and the free book is the whole book, with the same footer line.
