How It Compares
Dotted midline paper is similar to kindergarten paper but with a lighter midline guide. It is used for Grades 1–3 to help students understand letter height — which letters reach the top line, which sit on the baseline, and which descend below. Once letter formation is established, students move to standard ruled paper.
Printing Tip
For the most accurate line spacing, print at 100% scale. If printing double-sided, check your printer's duplex settings to ensure the lines align on both sides.
