1/2 inch Grid Paper — Letter
Pick half-inch cells when legibility beats density: two squares to the inch leaves boxes big enough to read across a classroom. They fit one digit per square for young writers, anchor simple bar charts, and let you rough out a room or furniture plan fast. Tutors lean on this size for large handwriting practice, where fine detail would only get in the way.
