Space Size and Accuracy of Kindergarten and First Grade Students' Manuscript Handwriting.
Waggoner, Judy; And Others
Journal of Educational Research, v74 n3 p182-84 Jan-Feb 1981

Results indicated that, with large-spaced paper, suburban students produced more accurate strokes than urban students, but when normal-spaced paper was used, there were no signficant differences.
