Medium Manuscript Handwriting Lessons Set

medium manscript About the Set:
The Medium Manuscript Set handwriting lessons print horizontally. The letters are approximately 3/4" tall. The set is arranged both alphabetically and by shape. The name of in the link tells what letters are covered on each lesson.

I used the font Print Clearly and a paint program to make the lessons. You can make similar lessons with the font Penmanship Print in your word processor.

Teaching: If the child has never had handwriting lessons before, show your child how to draw the letters. This can be done on a chalk board or a white dryerase board. I also have other worksheets designed for the beginning learner at Targeted Manuscript Teaching (letter height 1.5") and Handwriting Lessons - Manuscript Practice (letter height 1").

If this set is being used as practice, instruct your child to trace the dotted letters and also write the letter in the blank space between the dotted letters. Make sure your child forms the letters correctly -- drawing in the correct direction.

The files are PDF pdf
Usage: select a lesson, open, and print.

Typeable Blank File

It's not blank when it is first opened, but the text present in the file can be replaced or completely removed. There is a font download requirement to use this file successfully. If you do not have the font, acrobat reader will display a substitute font, which will be the wrong font.

The Instructions:
Go to Print Clearly and download the font. This file uses Print Dashed, true type.

Installing a Font: If you do not know how to install a font, use a search engine to find instructions. Installing a font is simple. Open the font folder from the computer's "control panel" and drag print_dashed_tt into the font folder. It should install. If not, use a search engine or ask someone other than me.

Open the file: pdf Medium Handwriting Paper
If the words look funny when you open the file, click on the letters and they should change to the right font if it is installed.

You'll possibly get a warning that you cannot save what you type and it is true. Typeable PDF's are made to print, not to keep data. If you have Adobe Acrobat, then your situation is different; Adobe Acrobat can save what you type, but most of you will have Reader, not Adobe Acrobat.
In summary - type, then print.

"The letters look funny." This file requires a specific font that is typically not on a computer and no other font will work just right in this file. -See instructions above-.
Note: The font's appearance in the file depends on the font's name- Print Dashed. The earlier version of the font was named Print Clearly Dashed and that one will not show in the file.
