Handwriting Repeater

Type a word. It comes back written out across ruled lines, as many times as the line holds.

The word “cat” repeated across ruled lines in UK joined handwriting

UK joined — Continuous cursive — the joined hand taught across English primary schools.

The sheet gives the word in full ink, a pale row to trace and ruled rows down to the foot of the page. Print at 100%, not “fit to page” — there is a 10 cm scale on the sheet to check it against.

For the board

It is meant to be shown. Put the page on the interactive whiteboard, type the word the class is copying, and the letters are on the ruling at a size the back row can read. No sign-in, no app to install, nothing to pay: it is a web page, and it works on whatever machine happens to be driving the board.

The address carries what you typed, so the line you set up for tomorrow can be bookmarked today and comes back exactly as you left it.

Three models, because schools teach three

Which letters are the right letters depends on the scheme the school follows, and a model from the wrong country is worse than no model — a child taught to loop an American f will be corrected for it.

  • UK joined — Continuous cursive — the joined hand taught across English primary schools.
  • UK print — Unjoined letters, for Reception and Year 1 before the joins are taught.
  • US cursive — The looped American model of the Zaner-Bloser and D'Nealian copybooks.

The letterforms come from the Playwrite family, drawn from the national teaching styles themselves rather than from a font designer's idea of handwriting.

And afterwards

A word on the board shows the shape; the hand learns it on paper. There are full worksheet sets to print, and a page for each letter of the cursive alphabet with its stroke order.
