Frequently asked questions
What size are the lines on kindergarten writing paper?
This page uses 1 inch (25.4 mm) from the top line to the baseline, with the dashed midline at 1/2 inch. That is a common kindergarten ruling. First-grade paper is usually smaller, around 5/8 inch.
What is the light line under each row for?
It is the descender line. Tails of g, j, p, q and y reach down to it, so children learn how far below the baseline those letters go.
Why are my printed rows smaller than 1 inch?
The printer scaled the page. Print at 100% / Actual size, not Fit to page, so the row height stays exact.
