Glossary

Clear definitions to help parents and teachers configure precise, print‑accurate worksheets.

Points (pt)

Print measurement. 1 inch = 72pt. All layout uses absolute pt to match paper.

Baseline

The line where most letters sit. Our text baseline aligns with the red base line.

Midline

The dashed red line at 50% of writing height. Guides lowercase letter bodies.

Row Height

Writing height per grade: Pre‑K 72pt (1"), Kinder 54pt (3/4"), Grade 1 36pt (1/2").

Density

Repetitions per line. Adjust for practice frequency while keeping readable spacing.

Word Spacing

Gap between words in points (pt). Fine‑tunes rhythm and reduces crowding.

Line Style

Standard (blue/red with dashed midline) or Clean (no lines). Standard suits early practice.

Font Style

Print (dots) or Cursive (joined). Cursive available in Pro; print best for early grades.

SVG‑First & WYSIWYG

Preview is raw SVG; export uses svg2pdf.js. On‑screen layout matches printed PDF exactly.
