Peer reviewedHill, David S.; And Others – Journal of Educational Research, 1982

Second graders wrote better on wide-spaced paper, while third graders were unaffected by spacing. Results suggest that the transition to normal-spaced paper can be most advantageously made in second grade. (Authors/PP)
