How do I transition children from double lines to triple lines?
Children who receive good instruction forming letters correctly on double lines can transition to all styles of paper. The average classroom has 5-9 styles of paper and we want to teach children how to write on any paper. You are the child’s best model. Say, “We use double line paper most of the time when we write. But you will also have to write on other types of paper. I will show you how to write on other paper so that you can make your letters look nice.” Every time you encounter a book or worksheet that gives children something other than double lines, make sure you take time to demonstrate letter placement. Being able to transition to all forms of paper will help children apply their good handwriting habits consistently.
