Paper for teaching writing skills

Abstract

Abstract Paper containing three module staffs of contiguous, distinctly shaded bands of equal width are printed with non-photographically reproducible ink on a planar sheet. The bands of each module are spaced from a similar module by a band of non-color and an uncolored area is provided about the periphery of the sheet. Letters are printed or written commencing in the space of the middle one of shaded bands of each module to teach writing in an area rather than on a line. The ascending and descending portions of the letters are formed on the upper and lower bands to teach proper proportioning of the letters and the words formed on any one staff are spaced from words on an adjacent staff and the periphery of the paper by the non-colored areas to stimulate proper spacing and margination. Because of the non-photographically reproducible ink used to form the bands, the paper may be photographically reproduced and the writing compared with that on unlined paper to determine the progress of a student.
