Moving to grown-up paper
This is where the series finishes and secondary school begins. At 11/32”, the ruling is close to the narrow lines your child will meet in Year 7 and middle school, so confident upper-primary writers can make the transition on familiar, friendly paper instead of being thrown in at the deep end. It’s the last, reassuring rung before adult-sized writing.
What’s inside
-
Line-size check A page for the parent or teacher to check which line size is best suited for the child right now. Grades and age are only a guide and there’s nothing wrong with the child skipping ahead or needing a larger size to boost their confidence.
-
Pencil warm-ups Short tracing and pattern exercises before longer writing. Use these before working with the blank pages or do a line or two before each session. The extra lines on the warm up pages are filled with slightly harder patterns so children who used the previous volumes will find something new to challenge them.
-
Alphabet reference Uppercase and lowercase letters on one spread for quick reference. Each has also space for tracing and copying the letter shape. Included are stroke guides for each letter.
-
Blank ruled pages Plenty of empty lined pages for copy work, sentences, and everyday practice.
Is your child ready for the narrowest lines?
Choose this volume for writers who already use 3/8” lines easily and need paper closer to upper-primary and early-secondary ruling. If letters still crowd the lines, stay on Intermediate Handwriting (3/8”) a little longer. Line fit should feel comfortable. There’s no rush to the smallest size.
This volume has no gap between the lines, so the writing will look more consistent and professional. However there are also additional handwriting challenges with the dotted midline removed and all the lines being the same colour.
