From Handwriting Without Tears. Gray block paper helps children learn correct placement (no reversals) of capital letters and numbers. The double line paper corrects the problem of 'line confusion.' The bottom line keeps the writing straight and the top line controls the size of the letters. The double lines help the child place letters correctly and facilitate the transition to single line paper. Letter placement will be uniform and neat. The package includes four styles of gray block paper with 26 sheets of each style: Starting Center, Starting Corner, Alphabet/Number and Blocks for Words. The Starting Center has a dot at the top center of each block for letters that start in the center such as 'C.' The Starting Corner has the dot at the top of each block in the left-hand corner for most letters such as 'R.' The Alphabet/Number is set up to practice each letter once and each number once. The Blocks for Words has six rows evenly spaced to form words & has no dots. Phyllis
