How it works
- Add names. Type one name, or paste your class list with one name per line.
- Choose the handwriting your school teaches: clear print.
- Pick a size and rows. The sheet on the right updates as you go.
- Download and print. Every name is its own page in one A4 PDF.
Clear print for young writers
Children in Kinder and Grade 1 form their letters in a clear, upright print. These sheets use that print, with start dots and stroke arrows you can switch on, so children learn where each letter begins and which way it goes.
Teaching a child to write their name
Capital first, then lower case
Children see their name with a capital letter and lower-case letters on their bag and their books. Type the name exactly as you want it practised, or set Capital letters to “Capital first”.
Little and often
A few rows a day works better than a whole page at once. Slip the sheet into a plastic sleeve and use a whiteboard marker to practise again.

- Grade 1Reading and Literacy: writing words legibly, through copying and guided writing.
In the first theme of the Kindergarten guide, knowing who we are and our families, a child’s own name is the natural first word to write.
Filipino names can be long: two given names, such as Juan Miguel, plus a nickname used at home. Start with the name the child will see on school notebooks and labels, and choose a smaller size if it does not fit the line.
