Lines that match our worksheets
The lines here are the same ones used on every PencilPlum handwriting and tracing sheet, so children see one set of lines all year.More handwriting practice
For letters to trace, use alphabet tracing; for your own sentences, handwriting practice.NCF and NCERT links
- UKG–Class 1The NCF-FS fine-motor competency (C-3.3) expects legible letters at about age 5 to 6 and clear writing by about 7.
- Class 1–2The NCF-FS sees writing as growing from drawing and labelling to phrases and then whole sentences (C-10.8), which is what a journal page is for.
These are three-line guides, the same ones used on PencilPlum’s tracing sheets. For English, most Indian schools use four-line notebooks instead, so if your class writes in four-line copies, use the four-line writing maker for the matching ruling.
The NCF-FS calls a young child’s own attempts at spelling an important step in early writing. On a journal page, let children draw first and label with their best guess at each word; correct spelling can come later, on a separate practice sheet.
