Cursive worksheets: common questions

What order should children learn cursive letters in?

Most programmes teach lowercase letters first, in groups that share a starting stroke: c, a, d, g, o and q start like a c; i, t, u and w start with an upstroke; l, e, f, h, k and b are tall loop letters. Capital letters come after, once children can join lowercase letters into words.

What age should kids start cursive?

Most children start cursive around age 7 to 8, in grade 2 or 3, once they can form print letters confidently. Start with one or two letters a day and short words, then move on to sentences.

Are these cursive worksheets free?

Yes. Every cursive worksheet is free for home, homeschool and classroom use, with no sign-up. Press Print, or choose Save as PDF in the print window to keep a copy.

How do I make a cursive worksheet with my own words?

Use the free cursive worksheet generator: type any words, spelling lists or sentences, and it makes dotted cursive tracing rows with guide lines that you can print or save as a PDF.

Which cursive style do these worksheets use?

The sheets use a clear modern cursive script with a top line, dashed midline and baseline on every row. Letter shapes vary a little between handwriting programmes, so if your school teaches a specific style, follow your teacher's model for any letter that looks different.
