Tasmanian Modern Cursive handwriting worksheets

What this tool does

Tasmanian Modern Cursive is the handwriting model used in Tasmanian schools. This page opens with letters modelled on it, unjoined, on A4 (the way children first learn the letter shapes), and the Join the letters switch gives the joined form. 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 official Tasmanian Modern Cursive font?

No. It is Playwrite AU TAS, an open-licence font designed from the Tasmanian model, not the department's own font. A few letters may differ in small details.

Can I use it for older students' joined writing?

Yes. Switch on Join the letters, choose Copy so the first row is a dark model, and use a smaller line height such as 1/2 inch.

Is anything I type uploaded?

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