The right lines for little writers
First graders are learning to form letters neatly and write several sentences, and the right paper helps. Primary lined paper has a solid top line, a dotted middle line and a solid baseline, so kids learn that tall letters touch the top, small letters stop at the dotted line and letters like g and y dip below. A picture box at the top lets them plan their writing with a drawing. Themed paper makes every writing assignment feel special. The click is when a child's letters all sit neatly on the line.
Paper is a tool. These moves help first graders use it well.
