How it works
- Type your text, one word or sentence per line.
- Choose clear print, and the line size for your class.
- Pick the rows: trace then write, trace only, or copy from a model.
- Download the A4 PDF. Longer lists carry on over as many pages as they need.
Handwriting in the MATATAG curriculum
In the first years of school children learn to form letters correctly, starting and finishing in the right place, and to keep them a steady size on the line. Tracing a model and then writing it on their own, a little every day, is how that control grows.
Ideas for your own text
This week’s spelling words
Writing spelling words out neatly a few times links letter patterns with spelling. For the full set of activities, use the spelling worksheet maker.
A sentence a day
One sentence traced on Monday, traced and written mid-week and copied on Friday makes a short daily handwriting routine.
In the MATATAG curriculum
- Grade 1Reading and Literacy: writing words legibly and correctly, starting with copying and guided writing.
- Grade 2Filipino: children start writing letters, words and sentences in joined (kabit-kabit) writing.
- Grade 3Filipino: writing learned words neatly and correctly.
This maker writes in clear print only, so it fits Kinder and Grade 1, and Grade 2 children who still need print practice. It does not make kabit-kabit (joined) sheets for the Grade 2 Filipino work.
Type sentences in either language. A short Filipino line such as “Mabait ang aso.” next to its English partner gives children copying practice in both, and the Grade 1 quarterly themes (oneself and family, school, community, the environment) give a topic for every term.
Summarised in our own words from DepEd’s MATATAG Reading and Literacy (Grade 1) and Filipino (Baitang 2–10) Curriculum Guides (2023).
