Handwriting Google Apps

Do you need to demonstrate correct letter formation? Fed up of writing handwriting lines on your whiteboard? Use these files to project the lines onto a regular whiteboard to use while demonstrating correct letter formation. Based on feedback from classroom teachers, I've provided 5 different styles of handwriting "paper", each in their own file, to match whichever handwriting program you use.

The first four files contain two versions of the "paper": one with a single line for writing and space to illustrate; the other with 3 lines to write on. The 5th file looks like "regular" notebook paper and is ideal for projecting to demonstrate where students should write their name, date, title on the paper, how to align their writing to the margin, as well as how to indent paragraphs or use the margin for question numbers, WHY we don’t use the bottom edge of the paper as a line and to demonstrate appropriate size of handwriting relative to the lines – not too big but not too small. Yes, I’ve done all of this this with flipchart paper, but with less money in the budget for supplies every year, it’s nice to have a reusable digital option! Click on the Preview file to see what they look like.

These files were originally created in Jamboard. I chose to replace the Jamboards with Canva files when Google announced that Jamboard would be disappearing because, unlike Google Slides, Canva has a built-in pen tool, like Jamboard’s. As an educator, you may qualify for the “Pro” (paid) version of Canva at no cost, but these files will work perfectly well with the free version. If your students are using computer or an iPad, you can share the file with them the way you share any Canva file. Please check before buying whether your students have access to Canva if you want to to assign the files to your students like this! It will definitely work best if students have access to a touchscreen computer or iPad, but it will work with a trackpad too. I do NOT recommend using it with a mouse!
