Choosing your adult practice sheets

How do I choose a starting page?

Choose the sheet for one feature you want to practise. The print pack includes letter-height, spacing and baseline practice; the cursive choices separate letter models, joins, words and passages. You do not need to finish every resource in order.

Should I change my handwriting style?

You can keep the style you already use. Compare the models if you want to explore another one; changing style is a separate choice from practising one unclear feature.

Can I use US Letter paper?

Check the paper size shown with each download. The packs listed here use their stated format. For a custom US Letter worksheet, use the matching generator; it does not reproduce the ready-made pack exactly.
