Make Manuscript Handwriting Lessons with Software
If you have a word processor on your computer, you can make your own handwriting lessons. A nice thing about making paper yourself, is that your paper can be tailored to your children. The problem with making handwriting lessons on a word processor is the fonts, not many handwriting fonts include the lines. I have tried two fonts that include the lines, one of the fonts is for manuscript and one is for cursive.
If you want to read a little more about this, visit this article: Make Handwriting Lessons. The article discusses how to make handwriting lessons with the cursive font and the location of that font is linked. For making manuscript lessons, I will link you to a lined manuscript penmanship font and provide you with a DOC format file that can serve as a starter file.
penmanship.zip This is a true type font, download and unzip, then install in your fonts folder. If you do not know how to install fonts, open a search engine and type, "install fonts" to search for instructions.
Before opening the DOC file that is linked below, install the font. The file will not display correctly until the font is installed. Of course, it won't hurt to view it without the font installed. The image on the right shows what the file is supposed to look like.

NOTE: In the Penmanship Font, the Grave symbol (`) is used for the blank lines.

Note: Not only is the font hollow, the lines are hollow too.
