Writing Paper

Japanese squared paper

You can best write your kana on squared paper. Here are some simple pages (PDF format) that you can print and use, as in the picture below (illustration shows writing kanji, not kana).

For ease of use, for the letter or A4 pages, fold them in half to make a smaller, convenient pad.
