Hello I am using the widget to create my own sheets. When I download them the letters are positioned in the middle of the dotted thirds line rather than on the solid line. Is there a way for me to fix this? Thanks!
Hi Alana, We're sorry to hear you're having trouble. Please contact us at [email protected] and we'll help you work through the problem.
Do you have these sheets blank What size dotted thirds are they
Hey Riley, thank you for reaching out to us. We have a Widget that generates handwriting sheets to customise them to suit your purpose, including adjusting handwriting styles lines. You can find our Handwriting Widget by following this link: https://www.teachstarter.com/au/widget/handwriting-sheet/
Hi, just used the handwriting widget, what a fantastic resource! Thank you so much. I've created differentiated handwriting to suit my class in their literacy rotations as one of their activities! No need to buy expensive books anymore, which don't always suit the needs of my students! Well done! Looking forward to when the technology is capable of doing full cursive, but for now, pre-cursive still give them the fine motor and idea.
Hi Julliet, Thank you for your lovely feedback. It's wonderful to hear the widget is saving you time and money!
Is it possible to create this with plain blue lines for QLD Cursive?
Hey Bec, that sounds like a fantastic idea. Could I please ask that you place a change request and we can progress that to be made for you.
Hi, I love these but is there a way to make the font darker? I put these up on the board and it can be quite hard to see. Thanks :)
Hi there, As these are designed as tracing sheets, a darker font colour would be counterintuitive as the students would be unable to see their own writing. I would suggest taking a look at our Handwriting Worksheet Generator Widget. You can copy the information you require into the widget and customise the font as you require. https://www.teachstarter.com/widget/handwriting-sheet/ If there is anything else I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Could we please get more of these?
Hi Lilian, Thank you for your comment. Please feel free to request more of these handwriting sheets via our Request a Resource function here: https://www.teachstarter.com/request-a-resource/ Kind regards Jill
