Writing letters and numbers to print songs. Circle the dots around the letters. Complete the tasks. For the preparatory group
A person's handwriting is formed in childhood, in the first grade, and this time should not be missed, since it will be much more difficult to retrain a child. And teachers, as a rule, pay attention to the formation of handwriting only in the first grade, and even then not properly. The child's first assistant in the development of handwriting is writing. Already in kindergarten, your kid got acquainted with these notebooks, when he wrote hooks and curls, and, I hope, now the writing does not scare him. You can move on to writing capital letters.
But you should start writing in capital letters no earlier than in grade 1, only after you get to know the letter. The teacher will show you how to write correctly, and the writing will help to consolidate the skill. Recipes are also suitable for correcting handwriting.
In addition, they will serve as a good help for caring parents in teaching their child in the summer. In the summer, it is very important to study in prescriptions, since skills, especially in elementary school, are greatly lost in children over the summer and it will be difficult to start again in the fall without daily summer training.
But not all recipes are created equal. When buying a recipe, pay attention to the spelling of the letters, whether they are correctly depicted.
You can download and print the copybooks from this page of our site, we have already taken care that the letters in them are spelled correctly, and the arrows indicate in what order to write the elements of the letters.

Recipe for schoolchildren
It will take a child a lot of time to develop a beautiful handwriting. But now the school pays very little attention to the correct and calligraphic writing of letters and numbers. Therefore, you can print out the alphabet recipes for schoolchildren and study additionally. These recipes - without pictures, are aimed at more serious work in teaching writing. In addition to the letters themselves, there are individual elements of the letters in the inscriptions.

Each parent strives for the child to have a beautiful and understandable handwriting. Recipes come to the rescue. In notebooks for writing, calligraphic samples of letters, syllables, numbers are presented. They help children learn to write correctly by outlining the principles and basics of calligraphy. Adults also resort to the help of prescriptions. With regular exercise, they correct sloppy handwriting.
Recipe
Adults rarely write by hand, often when absolutely necessary. The letter has been replaced by computer text. This is convenient, but at the same time, the handwriting of adults deteriorates due to lack of training. Children in schools and kindergartens are taught to write correctly and beautifully, to regularly consolidate the skill, train their hand and learn to write with special aids at home.
The simplest recipes are made independently, they are suitable for children 2 years old, 3 years old. It is necessary to take a notebook in a box and draw simple shapes with a dotted line: lines, squares, triangles. And the kids, with the help of their parents or on their own, will circle the figures. Examples for beginners are presented below. There are templates for writing pdf, word and other formats on the net.

A printed alphabet is simpler than a written alphabet because the letters do not connect to each other. Such study books are suitable for kindergarten, when kids are just being introduced to the alphabet. Coloring recipes in a playful way will introduce the child to the alphabet when he colors a picture starting with a certain letter. For example: watermelon, if we are talking about the letter "A" or hippopotamus, when he meets the letter "B".
When teaching the printed alphabet, the child should be explained what vowels and consonants are, how hissing sounds differ from voiced ones, hard from soft ones.
Calligraphic letters
The uppercase alphabet is studied before school. These are complex characters where the spelling of uppercase letters differs from lowercase ones. In this case, it is important to correctly connect the symbols to each other. Parents and teachers use modern types of educational notebooks or copybooks dating back to Soviet times.
Adults and children of senior school age can use a wide range of recipes, for kids use a narrow exercise book. You can print a recipe where all the letters are on one sheet - this will help you quickly remember the sequence of letters in the alphabet.
How are numbers written
It is easier to write mathematical symbols, since there are much fewer of them: only 10 digits versus 33 letters of the alphabet, while the numbers are not connected to each other. For prescriptions, notebooks are used in a box, where each number is clearly limited and does not go beyond.
School copybooks with numbers are equipped with shading, arrows and other signs that help to understand from what point the symbol begins, the writing algorithm. Printouts with example numbers are used for teaching both preschool and school children.
Calligraphy workbooks
Teachers and educators recommend purchasing special notebooks designed to prepare your hand for writing. The best recipes were developed and created by domestic teachers, which include the Nekin simulator, the working recipes of Bortnikova, Zhukova, Kolesnikova. The manuals are designed for children of all ages.

How to prepare your hand for writing
To prepare the hands of future first graders, the teachers made a list of special tasks.
Regular exercise trains fine motor skills in children of all ages:
- Finger games will help prepare your hand, but you should not give priority to only one hand, regardless of whether the child is right-handed or left-handed. The limbs should be equally engaged.
- Coloring pages are a fun pastime that develops your creative imagination and prepares your fingers for writing.
- Special notebooks for future schoolchildren. The authors propose to circle pictures or large letters by points, draw lines without lifting the pencil from the paper (labyrinth).
- Recipes - the first teaching aids are being developed for children 4–5 years old, 6–7 years old, for grades 1–2, for grades 3, 4. Recipes introduce kids to print and capital letters, syllables. There are also mathematical aids with numbers and numbers, notebooks in Russian, English, German, French and other languages.
A senior preschool child is taught by prescription. They can be bought at stationery, bookstores, or downloaded for free online.
How to fix handwriting
Many people believe that beautiful handwriting is formed at school age, and adults will no longer be able to correct it. In fact, it can be improved regardless of age: both a first grader and an adult are able to put a hand. However, this is the result of long and regular training.
It is important to follow the rules and take into account the nuances:
- A comfortable place for writing - you need good lighting, a table with a solid surface, a chair with a back. These conditions are especially important for toddlers, children 3-6 years old, primary schoolchildren, but are also recommended for adults.
- When working, one should not rush; maximum concentration on the process is required.
- Suitable stationery. Previously, experts argued that for success in calligraphy, for setting good handwriting, you need to use a fountain pen. Today, ballpoint is also allowed, but with a thin rod.
- Educational material - children use recipes for the appropriate age. They learn to write in dots, hatches, or dashes. Adults can place the notebook in a narrow ruler and practice in it. If desired, they download ready-made online recipes, learn to write correctly the connections of letters, their elements, syllables and sentences.
- Initially, you should write straight and parallel lines, circles and other simple shapes. Then move on to letters and syllables.
- If necessary, they turn to calligraphy masters, they will tell you how to write letters and connections that have errors. Suggest exercises to improve fine motor skills and handwriting.
Don't expect quick results. Calligraphy will improve after persistent and regular training.
How to learn to write correctly and beautifully
It is easier to teach a student to write beautiful handwriting right away than to retrain and correct mistakes later.
Parents of preschoolers and first-graders will be helped by the advice of experienced teachers:
- Calligraphic handwriting is impossible without developed finger motor skills. To do this, it is necessary to draw more often with pencils, sculpt from plasticine, do origami, beadwork. For the little ones, games with cereals will be interesting and useful. To do this, an adult needs to mix a little buckwheat and rice, and the child will go through them.
- Beautiful handwriting is directly related to upright posture. The kid should not be hunched over while he writes in the copy. The back should be flat, for this he is seated on a chair with a firm back. At the same time, computer, swivel chairs are not suitable.
- A quality spelling pen. It is necessary to pick up office supplies with a thin rod. When choosing between a gel pen and a ballpoint pen, the latter is preferred as it does not scratch the paper. The finger grip should be made of rubber. Such a handle will not slip in children's hands, unlike a plastic or metal counterpart.
- Gripping the handle. Correct position in the hand: the pen rests on the middle finger, the thumb and forefinger hold it, and the ring and little fingers are pressed against the palm. With a wrong grip, beautiful handwriting cannot be achieved.
Following the rules of calligraphy will help your child learn to write beautifully letters from A to Z, words, numbers and numbers.

Developing good handwriting in students is one of the main tasks of the school in teaching writing.
To accomplish this task, the programs recommend building training in writing on a systematically selected material that is accessible to the age of students, observing the sequence in developing the skills of writing letters that make up words and, through special exercises, eliminating individual deviations and shortcomings that violate the clarity and legibility of writing.
For calligraphy lessons, one lesson per six days is allocated from the Russian language lessons. In the first grade in the first half of the year, these classes take place in connection with the ABC classes 3-4 times in a six-day period within up to 10 minutes in the first quarter and up to 15 minutes in the second. In the second half of the 1st grade and in the 2nd grade, calligraphy classes are conducted twice every six days, for which half of the lesson is allocated for each lesson of the Russian language lessons *.
__________
* Primary School Program, ed. 1935 g.
In the first half of the year, students master the writing of all lowercase letters: they write elements of letters and letters, then words and short sentences.
In the second half of the year, children master the writing of capital letters, practicing mainly in the writing of names. Capital letters are written in a simple font, like lowercase letters, with the exception of B, E, C, D, R.
In the II grade, the work of the 1st grade continues and consolidates. Students learn to write more quickly (compared to the first year), clearly and beautifully, on two rulers and study the style of capital letters in a common font... Individual deviations and shortcomings that violate the legibility of the letter are eliminated by setting up special exercises for individual students in the form of rewriting whole words, syllables, letters or their elements.
Ink writing should begin in illiterate classes at the end of September, and in literate classes from the second week of school. Each student must be given a pen made of flannel or cloth pieces of cloth.
In order to foster the best attitude of the student to the notebook, samples of the best children's works should be exhibited in the classroom in order to stimulate students to correct, beautiful, clear and even handwriting and the neatness of the notebook.
The proposed recipes give the teacher examples of correct writing, and the student is helped to learn how to write correctly on systematically and appropriately selected material. Calligraphy ranges from easy to difficult. Starting with the exercises on the letter K, the material is given in parallel to teaching literacy by the ABC book. This material gives samples of the correct outline of letters, the correct connection of letters into words and the correct organization of the page.
Notebooks serve students in grades I and II, but they can be useful for correcting handwriting and for students in grades III and IV.
For the first class, the copybooks contain all types of calligraphy work according to the program, ed. 1935 g.
For the second class are given:
a) preliminary exercises with the transition to a smaller print;
b) the outline of lowercase and uppercase letters, arranged in order of difficulty, as well as words with these letters;
c) a sample lesson in capital letters P and T, revealing the system of work; in the same way, other lessons are built on this or that letter;
d) coherent text for various ways of connecting letters in words.
If the teacher finds it necessary to increase the number of exercises for each type of work, then he can do this on specially selected exercises, consistent with both the problems of calligraphy and spelling.
Each calligraphy lesson is built according to the following plan:
- Setting the goal of today's lesson.
- Preparation of notebooks and pens for writing.
- Testing the ability to hold a notebook and a pen; monitoring the correct landing.
- The teacher showing the words on the blackboard in a written font with the analysis of letters into their constituent elements.
- Analysis of what is written from the point of view of the outline: where to start and where to end, how to connect one stroke to another, how to connect one letter to another, etc.
- Writing one line on your own and at the expense.
Work accounting. In the process of work or at the end of calligraphy classes, the teacher looks through the students 'notebooks, indicating the general shortcomings and shortcomings of each student, correcting them by writing a sample on the blackboard or in the students' notebooks.
In teaching writing, the letter of the teacher himself plays a huge role. Showing here is the best way to learn. That is why the teacher needs to take care of the technical excellence of writing on the blackboard and in the student's notebook. The teacher's letter should be simple, clear and beautiful, in compliance with the normal forms of letters, without the use of any extra or conventional strokes and unnecessary decorations (zigzags, ponytails, flourishes, etc.).
Every teacher, before writing on the board, should be familiar with the text and the style of the letters in the copy. If the teacher does not do this, there may be a large discrepancy in the outline of the letters in the copybook and in its sample on the blackboard, and then the writing, as a visual aid, will lose its meaning.
Bogolyubov N.N. Calligraphy technique
Textbook. manual for ped. schools. - 2nd ed., Rev. and add. - Leningrad: Uchpedgiz, 1955
Unique edition. The method of teaching beautiful writing is described in great detail. Today, ordinary school copybooks from 1955 seem to be calligraphy. The recipes are attached.
Coming to the 5th edition of the Course of Calligraphy and Cursive Writing, the publishing house "Circle of Self-Education" left unchanged the general plan of the publication, preserving mainly the simplicity and general accessibility of presentation. The purpose of the publication is to give everyone the opportunity to independently learn to write quickly and beautifully in a short time. It was justified by the success that fell to the lot of the first four editions of the Calligraphy Course.
Beautiful and fluent handwriting is an urgent need for every literate person. It is necessary for teachers, officials, clerks, bank employees, clerks, draftsmen, artel workers, merchants, etc. - in a word, in very many occupations that are widespread. An obscure and ugly handwriting very often serves as the reason for the material disorder of those persons who have to deal with correspondence in the service or in their business.
There is no such ugly handwriting that cannot be corrected and made beautiful. The proposed training system leads to handwriting correction in the most correct and shortest way.
Particular attention is paid to the fact that the student is consciously concerned with the matter, that is, that he understands why each exercise is being done, and that he sees that this exercise is really necessary. With self-study, such a conscientious attitude towards business fully ensures success in the classroom.
The complete course of calligraphy and cursive writing consists of six sections:
1) Preliminary exercises;
2) Calligraphic handwriting;
3) Office cursive;
4) Direct letter;
5) Rondo and Gothic;
6) Fine fonts: Batard, Frakturny, Modno-Slavic.
For the convenience of practical exercises, an album of elegantly executed tables is attached to the theoretical part of the course, in which samples of all letters, numbers and fonts are given.
Calligraphy dates back to ancient times.
On the most ancient Egyptian, Babylonian and Assyrian monuments there are inscriptions that show that the art of reproducing written signs was already highly developed in those distant times. In ancient China, calligraphy reached a high degree of perfection.
The written signs used by us at the present time do not originate from the Egyptian and Chinese letters, but most of all from the Phoenician ones. The ancient Greeks, apparently, borrowed their alphabet from the Phoenicians and, having significantly modified it, then passed on to the ancient Romans. Here he underwent new changes and, together with Christianity, spread almost unchanged throughout Europe. It was only in Germany that medieval monks gave the Latin script an angular and curly shape and developed the so-called Gothic script. The Latin script also had a strong influence on the Russian alphabet, but some of the letters of our alphabet are borrowed from Greek.
Already in ancient Greece, and then in Rome, calligraphy was highly respected and highly valued. Typography had not yet been invented at that time, and the only way to compose books was to write them on parchment. This method required a great deal of art, since at that time they did not know about cursive writing, and the only written type was the same type that is now used in printing houses, that is, in those days they wrote in block letters.
Calligraphy flourished, however, in the second half of the Middle Ages, when the demand for books began to grow especially rapidly. In this era, fonts of amazing beauty and grace were created. Not only almost all the so-called curly fonts (rondo, gothic, etc.), but also many of the current typographic fonts passed to us by inheritance from medieval calligraphers. In recent years, a return to medieval fonts has been observed in the typographic business.
With the invention of book printing, calligraphy loses its former meaning and stops in its development for many years. Finally, however, calligraphy was never supplanted, and in the last decade interest in it has revived again, and a new period of flourishing has begun in the development of calligraphy, even more magnificent than in the Middle Ages.
The scope of calligraphy is currently extremely extensive. The extraordinary development of book printing, the unheard-of growth of the newspaper business, the huge spread of advertising, and finally, the sign and poster business created an extensive demand for a wide variety of curly fonts. The number of such fonts is already very large now, but every day brings us something new in this area. Thus, first supplanted by the invention of typographic fonts, calligraphy is now called to a new life by the further development of the same typographic business.
The invention of the printing press revolutionized the book industry and for the first time created the possibility of widespread literacy. Simultaneously with the spread of literacy, there was a need for such written signs, which in their form would be simpler than calligraphic ones and did not require any special art or a lot of time for their reproduction. Having learned to read, people also wanted to be able to write, and, moreover, write easily and quickly. Curly calligraphy fonts were completely unsuitable for this purpose. It was necessary to develop a cursive script that would not be difficult to learn, it was necessary to significantly simplify the old calligraphic fonts. This was done, but not immediately, but gradually.
Old cursive writing is very different from today's cursive writing. In the old days, they were not in a hurry to live and were not in a hurry to write. Therefore, in ancient cursive writing, we find an extraordinary abundance of various curls, ornaments and flourishes, which extremely complicated and slowed down the writing. Our business hours completely threw away all these calligraphic tricks and subtleties and developed a simple, economical cursive. The former cursive writing has now turned into the so-called calligraphic (ministerial) script, which stands on the border between truly calligraphic (curly) fonts and cursive writing.
The introduction of universal education in Europe has greatly contributed to the simplification of cursive writing. In the past 20 years, teachers have devoted a lot of energy to this issue and not only introduced simplifications into cursive script, but also developed a method of teaching writing, which gives the most correct results in the shortest possible time. Following the teachers, the issue of handwriting development was taken up by prominent scientists who, from a physiological and psychological point of view, studied the issue of movements performed during writing. Through numerous experiments, the movements of the fingers, hand, forearm, shoulder joint and the whole arm were studied (study by Jedd, Goldsheider and Kraepelin) and the speed of writing movements in sick and healthy people was determined; the time spent on each letter of the alphabet (research by Gross and Diehl); and the effect of alcohol on writing movements (research by Meyer). Finally, a number of observations were made on the dependence of the angle of inclination of the letters to the ruler on the length of the fingers and hands, as well as on the angle formed by the notebook with the edge of the table (research by Marx Lobsen).
These experiments and studies are still far from over. Among teachers, for example, there is no unanimity on issues related to teaching writing: some stand for a straight type, others defend an oblique one. Finally, there are serious researchers who propose some modifications of the modern cursive type (eg, shifting pressure, changing the shape of the rounding). Among these teachers, we note Georg Lang, who wrote a large study on modern cursive writing. In general, the work of teachers over the past 20 years has eliminated many prejudices and mistakes from teaching writing and opened up new ways of teaching writing.
In compiling this "Course in Calligraphy and Office Cursive Writing", we were guided by the desire to combine into one whole all the more or less firmly established conclusions of modern scientific pedagogy.
When writing, a whole series of movements are performed - with the fingers, the hand with the forearm and with the whole hand. The main requirement that any system of teaching writing must satisfy is, therefore, that it teaches the student to free and firm writing movements, that is, to such movements that, with the least effort or muscle tension, give the greatest result. Free and confident movement is the foundation of calligraphy and cursive writing. Handwriting cannot be free and beautiful if it is not based on free movement. So the development of free writing movements should be the main goal of any system of teaching writing.
From this point of view, the dispute over forward versus oblique writing is of secondary importance. Neither straight nor oblique handwriting contradicts the freedom of writing. It is even difficult to say in which handwriting the freedom of movement is greater. Therefore, both upright and oblique writing are equally suitable. The same cannot be said about handwriting tilted to the left (and not to the right, as usual). Such a tilt in the most decisive way contradicts the freedom of writing, since letters tilted to the left can be written only by unnaturally arching your right hand and placing the pen not along the paper, as usual, but across. That is why such a tortured handwriting makes an extremely unpleasant, repulsive impression.
We will have a chance to return to the question of direct and oblique writing in the section devoted to direct writing, and there we will develop our views more fully.
In order to learn to write, one must learn free writing movements.
Learning to write is, or rather should be, teaching free writing movements.
This is the basis of our system.
That is why in it such a prominent place is given to a number of exercises, the purpose of which is to develop freedom of writing movements. The student should be fully aware of these exercises, understand their purpose and ponder the system itself. He must firmly, clearly and unswervingly remember that without freedom of writing, he will never be able to achieve a free and correct handwriting. And this freedom can only be achieved through strict adherence to the exercises we suggest. Therefore, we analyze each exercise in the most detailed way and strive to ensure that, starting to it, the student clearly understands for what purpose this exercise is given and what movements it develops.
Our course is designed not only for those people who still do not know how to write and are just beginning to learn, but equally for those who have already learned to write, but have a bad, spoiled handwriting and want to correct it. And for those, and for others, our exercises are equally important: the cause of bad handwriting is always not free, incorrect, connected or unbalanced movements. Our exercises provide an opportunity to unlearn such incorrect and non-free movements.
It is also important for students to remember that nothing can be achieved without working. It is miraculously impossible to acquire a beautiful, fluent handwriting: for this you need to work. And to work means to carefully perform all the exercises and not rush forward. Throughout the course, we will tirelessly repeat: do not rush forward, otherwise you will have to go back. Remember that especially in calligraphy and cursive writing, you need to adhere to the golden rule: the quieter you drive, the further you will be. Go further only when you firmly grasp the old: the less you rush forward, the sooner and more successfully you will reach the end.
We considered it necessary not only to provide examples of exercises in our course, but also to highlight them in a special album. When reading a course, constantly looking at an album would be burdensome. Therefore, we have included examples of our exercises in the text. On the other hand, it would also be inconvenient to use the samples placed in the text when writing the exercises: the book flutters easily, and it is inconvenient to put it on the table. Much greater convenience in this case is a table that is convenient to put against oneself on the table and on which there is nothing but the exercises necessary at the moment.
Old-style copybooks for Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian (narrow ruler, for each letter).
But enough of the prefaces! On this page are laid out recipes in the Russian language for the "first grade", which I made in full accordance with my concepts of what they should be.
First, I returned to the frequent oblique ruler, which made life so easy for first-graders during my childhood.
Second, the pattern of the letter is repeated several times on the line. Each pattern is followed by a space, where the child enters his letter. This is necessary so that the sample is always in the child's field of vision, and not his own clumsy letter, written a minute earlier.
Thirdly, the space reserved for the child for training is not limited in any way... Even if a sheet was not enough for him to learn how to write a letter, the exact same sheet can always be printed again. This means that it becomes possible to formulate the task for the child in such a way that working carelessly and hastily will not make any sense. Not "write down so many lines", but "write so many beautiful letters."
However, I don’t want to bore the reader with lengthy comments and guidelines. The recipes themselves will tell about themselves more eloquently than me.

Every day I wish the author health when I write with my first-grader daughter! The tears, tantrums and hassle are over! Putting it to work is no longer a problem, everything is working out for the child and it adds enthusiasm. When we work out the letter in these copybooks, in the school room he already writes everything correctly and beautifully. Now I recommend it to all my friends.Thank you so much for your site! I found what I was looking for for a long time - my dear children’s copybooks, which allowed me to have good handwriting. I cannot calmly see my daughter's handwriting, she is in the 5th grade. The integral system of teaching children, which had been perfected for decades, was destroyed, and freak programs were created instead, and this, unfortunately, applies not only to calligraphy.
Please tell me how much do you recommend to print each sheet? Is one copy enough? I mean, some letters (elements) are not very good, should I move on to others or should I practice spelling the letter until a satisfactory result is obtained?
It is necessary to practice writing each element, each letter until it turns out more or less decently (although there is no need for perfectionism either). These prescriptions, in my opinion, are good because any page can be printed any number of times - as many times as needed. In my experience, most copies are required for the very first pages - with sticks and hooks. Another curious observation: even if a child has learned to perfectly draw the "basic" hook, this does not mean at all that he will immediately start to get good at the letter "i", which consists of two such identical hooks.
You recommend a special pen for writing (we found and bought it) and laminated paper, but we cannot find it on sale. Please tell me some of the most common brand of such paper, maybe I misunderstood something ...
Leonid Nekin
I am not recommending anything, but talking about my own preferences, which may turn out to be different for you - taking into account your specific situation, about which I do not know anything. I once mentioned that I like the "Stabilo point 88" capillary pen. As for paper, I use 80 grams per square meter regular inkjet and laser paper and print the script files on it. For babies who are just starting to learn to write, the capillary pen may blur a little on this paper, because babies write letters very slowly and often press with all their might. In my opinion, this is not a drawback of such paper. On the contrary, the child has additional feedback, thanks to which he learns to write correctly faster, so that the capillary ink does not spread. I have never tried laminated paper - I think that it is not needed, although, probably, the ink will not blur on it, even with a small child.
But the question arose about writing the small letter g. Is it really written that way? It always seemed to me that it simply fits into one inclined cell, while yours fits into two.
Leonid Nekin
Maybe you are right about one cell. But according to the idea underlying the spellings, the letter "g" is not just the letter "g", but also a basic element that is found in the spelling of the letters "p", "p" and "t" and itself, in its own the queue is based on the hook letter "i".
A funny discovery! On the screen there are just gaps for writing letters, and on the printout of the page there are thin contour letters for their subsequent tracing. Very nice and helpful, thank you for your concern !!Leonid. Thank you very much for your site, I hope that your writing will help me a lot to correct the handwriting. I printed out a blank sheet of paper and tried to write the alphabet, it's just super, never got such beautiful letters, in notebooks just in a ruler (as they sell now), in such a ruler, everything is simple and clear how to guide the pen. I read your article about pens, bought myself according to your recommendations, now I will try. It may seem strange that I am a grown girl writing copybooks, but I urgently need to correct my handwriting. As a child, they did not put it on me, I still suffer. I am a specialist with honors, I have read more than one scientific article about handwriting in elementary school. But your writing has made the biggest contribution. Thanks a lot!
I could not figure out how to make a notebook out of your words.
In particular, if we consider the complete copy (where 73 sheets), you have each sheet divided by a red line, as I understand this is a fold line, and bending along it does not work to make a normal notebook. Also, if you just stitch all the sheets on the left side, then the red line in the center does not look very good. Maybe you have an option where the right and left parts are spread out on separate sheets, or a file without a red stripe in the center.
Leonid Nekin
I had no idea that these sheets would be used to make a notebook. To begin with, there is no surer way to scare a child than to present him with the entire volume of work to be done at once. Further, it is not at all a fact that the child will need exactly one copy of each sheet. In my experience, in order to learn how to write more or less decently the very first sticks and hooks, it takes several sheets. And in general, the whole point of these spellings is that the sheets are reprinted as needed. Finally, it is simply more convenient to write on one piece of paper than in a thick notebook (of 73 sheets). The red line in the middle was drawn so that the lines do not seem too long, and not in order to bend along it. Although, perhaps, you can bend it, but in the wrong direction, so that you get a notebook, but in the other direction, so that you get like one small double-sided sheet.
All 4 files are not printed correctly.

Then the problem seems to be in your printer (perhaps an error in the program that serves it). Before printing, you can try to go from the print window to the "printer properties" and change something there, for example, change the print quality to the best of all possible (maybe now you have the "Draft" option selected?) ... In the "advanced properties" (available from the Adobe Reader print window), you can try to select "print as picture". If it is a programming error, even a small change in scale (eg 99% or 101%) may help. As an experiment, you can also try changing the orientation of the paper from portrait to landscape.
If all this fails, there remains a radical remedy - convert the PDF file to some raster format, for example, TIFF or BMP (but not JPG, as this format "loses" its quality).

Canon printer. I have already experimented with the print quality in the properties of the printer - there is little sense. I was helped by changing the scale and changing the orientation of the paper to landscape, as you prompted me. (I wouldn't have guessed it myself). I changed two settings at once (it is quite possible that it would be enough to configure one thing). I am very pleased with the print quality. THANK YOU!!!everything is fine on the screen, but there are no oblique lines when printing. Printed on a laser printer.
the problem, as it turned out, is in the color. Everything is fine with color printing (!), With black and white printing, the oblique lines are practically invisible (barely noticeable).In the ready-made "Recipe for beginners" background lines, both oblique and horizontal, are very poorly printed.
(No "toner saving" and "Best Print Quality" is selected).

Based on what you mentioned about toner, this is a black and white laser printer. It renders the blue line in gray, or rather as separate black dots on a white background. There are not too many such points in the line thickness, which makes the line very poorly visible. So far, the following has occurred to me. Any (especially black and white) printer somewhere in the settings should be able to display any color (including cyan) in pure black. If this opportunity is taken advantage of, then the problem will be solved.
