Skipping a line

Sentence and paragraph work is double-spaced.

What it is

You write on every second line, leaving the one between empty. That empty line is not wasted — it is where corrections go, where a teacher writes, and where you add the word you forgot. Writing on every line leaves nowhere to fix anything.

Watch it built

1
Write your first line.
The bird sang in the tree.
2
Skip the next line completely. Do not write on it.
 
3
Write your second line under the empty one.
It rained all night.
Remember
Write, skip, write, skip. The empty line is for fixing.
Ask yourself: “Is there an empty line under what I wrote?”

Remember

Skip a line so there is room to answer you.
