I’ve been looking for a good font to make writing sheets for my kids. I’ve found a bunch of different teaching fonts that are okay, but they always have something slightly wrong.
Examples: The letter M with the stroke order
| > | | > |V|
Or double story lowercase a
Does anyone know where to get one that’s correct and looks good? Something traceable or with stroke order numbers.

We used a font from a font site. You pay a few dollars and then add it to your MS word when making materials. It was called teachers Pet handwriting or something.
A Google search showed some cool stuff on fontspace for free. There is probably an open source site with a good font somewhere. Did you check some teacher blogs?
Also, teacherspayteachers.com has great stuff for multiple levels.
I was always under the impression there is no such thing as “correctness” when it comes to Roman letter stroke order.
“Print Clearly” font might be OK for you.

I’m pretty sure that the Japanese teachers in my BOE were told to use the HandwritingWeCan font. They don’t, but I do.
Try ABCPrint – it has four varieties:
Basic (just the non-seriffed font)
Lined (with height lines)
Dotted lined (same with dashed letters for tracing)
Arrow dotted (dotted with writing order)
OP these are great. They have medium, light with 4 lines, and traceable with 4 lines.

I’ve never used that uploader/dropbox before, so I hope it works fine.
Use conic sans. It works well for dyslexics too.
There was someone who made this exact thing and posted a link to a github with it. Pretty sure it was on this sub, but you’ll have to search.
Paid fonts: Heinemann or Sassoon Primary (used in children’s books and educational resources.
You can find similar fonts for free in some places.
Typically I use century gothic for clear letters for handwriting, if not using these.
