Here are a few scenarios where neat print handwriting is vital -- and preferred over its fancier counterpart, cursive:
✍️ When FILLING OUT FORMS: Many forms and applications require that you fill out information in print handwriting. This is because print handwriting is typically easier to read and understand, especially when it comes to important details like names, addresses, and phone numbers.
✍️ When WRITING ON A WHITEBOARD OR CHALKBOARD: Print handwriting is often used when writing on a whiteboard or chalkboard, especially in a classroom or presentation setting. This is because it is easier to read from a distance and can be more legible than cursive.
✍️ When CREATING SIGNS OR LABELS: Print handwriting is often used when creating signs, labels, or other written materials that need to be clearly legible and easy to understand. This is particularly important when creating signage for public places or events, as it can help to avoid confusion and ensure that everyone can understand the message.
✍️ When WRITING FOR SOMEONE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS: People with visual impairments may have difficulty reading cursive handwriting, so print handwriting is often used when writing for them to ensure that the text is easily legible.

I an having a hard time finding the free printing sheets. I love trying to build up better handwriting (both printing and cursive). Thanks so much for the wonderful video and awesome files on your site. I'm getting an iPad soon and look forward to using more worksheets without running out of ink!

That's so strange -- the link in the description was correct, but KZbin redirected to a 404 Error. 🙄 I'm sorry about that! I fixed the link by putting a tinyurl. Here's the proper link now!: tinyurl.com/learnprint

Thank you. I recently had a stroke and my handwriting has suffered. These materials help a lot. I went to a book store and asked for handwriting materials and essentially was laughed off the scene with a children’s book.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

I'm genuinely sorry to hear about your experience, and I commend your dedication to improving and adapting after such a challenging event. Everyone's journey with handwriting is unique, and I'm honored that my materials can be of help to you. Remember, it's not about where you start, but the progress and effort you put in. Keep pushing forward, and don't let anyone deter you from your goals. Stay strong and keep practicing! 🌟📝 Warm wishes on your journey to recovery and improvement.

Hola, gracias por tu video, hasta ahora seguí solo dos de tus consejos, sostener bien la pluma y mantener nuestra espalda adecuadamente, y solo con esos dos consejos puestos en práctica unos minutos atrás mi letra mejoró considerablemente, me sorprendió mucho lo completamente efectivos que fueron tus consejos, gracias.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

¡Hola! Me alegra mucho saber que encontraste útiles los consejos del video. Es genial que al aplicar solo dos de ellos, como sostener bien la pluma y mantener una postura adecuada, hayas experimentado una mejora considerable en tu letra en tan poco tiempo. Es sorprendente lo efectivos que pueden ser estos consejos simples pero importantes. ¡Gracias por compartir tu experiencia y por tu aprecio! Si tienes alguna otra pregunta o necesitas más consejos, no dudes en decirlo. ¡Sigue practicando y mejorando tu caligrafía!

[@patriciadaibes]

Thank you for the video. ❤ I'm curious to know what kind of letter I should use for quick note take, for example a todo list or class notes.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

You know, I would actually use cursive in that case!

Your wall!!! I love your rose design anyhow, but seeing the roses is such grand detail! Swoon-worthy 😍

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Excited to work on it some more! It's like a real garden ... it keeps on growing, and I tend to it whenever I have a chance. 🌹 Thank you!!

[@lindseyamtmann-pw2vk]

Hello! Where can I find the paper pad you mention at the beginning? I looked on your store and Amazon but couldn’t find it. I must be looking for the wrong thing. And thanks for always including lefties!

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

You have two options! There's a blank grid page on page 6 of this worksheet (thepostmansknock.com/catalog/improve-your-print-handwriting-worksheet/), which you can print off as many times as you want to (I recommend using 32# HP Premium Laserjet paper). The other option is to use a Rhodia grid pad (thepostmansknock.com/catalog/rhodia-a4-staplebound-ice-pad/) -- or any grid paper pad, really. Throughout the video, I'm using the worksheet page. :)

Hi ma'am ur amazing i do print handwriting

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Thank you! I'm so glad you like the video. 🤗

[@TheBluesea101]

What is it called the paper with small grid you were writing on? And what is it used for?

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

That's just a Rhodia grid pad! You can use it for whatever you want ... the guidelines can be really handy for neat writing. :)

[@michealgodweloveyougodwene8469]
