Sentence strips — four long horizontal strips stacked down the page with dashed cut lines between them, each with a solid top line, a dashed blue middle line and a red baseline, left blank for writing, a small "Name" label at the left end of each, drawn as classic handwriting strips with a solid top line, a dashed middle line and a baseline, in plain primary-school print

Teachers use sentence strips for handwriting, pocket charts and sentence starters on the wall. The three designs are blank strips with a dashed middle line, strips that begin I think, I notice, I wonder and I learned, and strips with one sight word each. The styles are classic handwriting lines, pastel bands and bold primary borders. Type a change, such as cursive, and the same strips can take it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
