Queensland Beginners handwriting worksheets

What this tool does

Queensland schools teach a beginners alphabet in the early years and Queensland Modern Cursive later on. This page opens with unjoined letters modelled on the Queensland style, on A4; switching on Join the letters gives the joined cursive form from the same letters. Each line you type becomes one practice block: Trace prints every row in light grey, Trace + write gives one grey row and then empty rows, and Copy gives one dark model row to copy from. Long lines wrap by whole words, a block never splits across pages, and the preview is the exact sheet that prints.

How to use it

1. 1
   Type your words

   One line per practice block: a spelling list, a sentence, or a row of letters. The presets fill in the alphabet, a-z, 0-20 or the days of the week.

2. 2
   Choose the support

   Trace for first attempts, Trace + write for most practice, Copy once children can manage on their own.

3. 3
   Print at actual size

   Choose Actual size or 100% in the print dialog so the line height stays exactly as set.

FAQ

Is this the Queensland Department of Education font?

No. It is Playwrite AU QLD, an open-licence font designed from the Queensland model, not the department's own font. Check a few letters against your school's chart if you need an exact match.

Can I make Queensland Modern Cursive sheets?

Yes. Switch on Join the letters for joined cursive in the same style.

Is anything I type uploaded?

No. The sheet is drawn in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
