How to use this with your childA few honest minutes beat an hour of busywork.
Good handwriting comes from consistent letter formation, not speed. Trace-and-copy sheets let your child feel the shape of each letter first, then reproduce it. Short daily practice with a comfortable pencil grip beats long, tiring sessions.
- Start with Letters and the dotted-midline guide, so your child can see where each letter sits.
- Move to Words, then Sentence, as control improves. Type your child's name or favourite words in the custom box.
- Choose a larger size for younger hands. Print a fresh sheet whenever you need one.

Questions parents ask
Is this free?
Yes — generate and print as many sheets as you like, with no login.
Can I practise my child's name or specific words?
Yes. Choose Sentence mode and type any words or a sentence in the custom box; the sheet will build trace-and-copy lines from your text.
Does Sapora teach handwriting?
No. Sapora is a New Zealand maths programme. These handwriting sheets are a free extra, and we are clear that handwriting is not part of what Sapora teaches.
What are the guide options for?
The dotted midline helps with letter height and formation for younger writers; baseline-only suits children who are ready for less support.
