How to Use This Pack

Five sheets of lined paper sized for A4, each with a Name and Date line at the top and no title, so the lines fill the page. Pages 1 and 2 have 8 mm lines, the usual school ruling, page 1 with a red margin line on the left. Pages 3 and 4 have 6 mm narrow lines for older pupils who write smaller. Page 5 is a journal page: a box to draw in, then 8 mm lines. For US Letter paper, print our Lined Paper: Wide and College Ruled instead.

In the Classroom

Keep a stack of 8 mm paper for writing and maths journals, where pupils explain how they solved a problem in words. The journal page works for science observations: draw what you see, then write about it.

At Home

Use the journal page for a weekend news page: your child draws something they did and writes about it on the lines below.

Tips for Success

  • 8 mm lines suit younger writers; 6 mm fits more words on a page
  • Start each line just after the margin line
  • Leave a line between paragraphs
  • The blue lines print light grey on a black and white printer
