Here's one:

find -printf '%p\n\n'

A slightly worse (but more portable) one:

ls | sed 's|$|\n|'

A more convoluted one:

ls | while read f; do
    echo "$f"
    echo
done

And here is what you should not ever do:

for f in `ls`; do
    echo "$f"
    echo
done

EDIT:

And, as mentioned by Nija, the simple shell-only one:

for f in *; do
    echo "$f"
    echo
done

This one has the disadvantage that on many shells * by default expands to itself, rather than an empty string when no files exist.
