A cursive capital I is easy to write, it is similar to a lowercase cursive l. The lowercase cursive i is almost exactly like a handwritten lowercase i.
The letter i in cursive usually connects to the letter t in words like:
- itchy
- Item
- it
Cursive i’s also connect to the letter l in many words. Some of these include:
- illness
- illusion
After you become comfortable with writing the letter i in cursive, practice writing “il” together as well as “it.” These are called “connectors” and will help you understand how cursive works to form words.
Bonus Practice: This letter is very commonly used and is in very unique words (including the word “unique”). Try practicing less common words in order to really improve your writing skill.
Writing an Uppercase I in Cursive
As you see in the diagram (above), begin the capital I at the bottom line, on the left. Beginning to bring the stroke up to the top line, looping to around back to the bottom line, on the outer right, leaving the tail for other letters to connect.
Please watch our short tutorial video showing exactly how to write both upper and lowercase.
Writing a Lowercase i in Cursive
Writing the lowercase cursive i is exactly like a handwritten lowercase i. When beginning your stroke, start below the centerline. Take your stroke to the bottom line, leaving the tail off the right side for the connecting letters in the word. Always remember to dot your lowercase i as well.

Cursive writing does not mean what I think it does.
Nancy Cartwright
ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD CURSIVE
From Medieval Latin cursīvus running, ultimately from Latin currere to run.
Etymology is the study of the origin of words and their changes in structure and significance.
PRONUNCIATION OF CURSIVE
GRAMMATICAL CATEGORY OF CURSIVE
Cursive can act as a noun and an adjective.
A noun is a type of word the meaning of which determines reality. Nouns provide the names for all things: people, objects, sensations, feelings, etc.
The adjective is the word that accompanies the noun to determine or qualify it.
WHAT DOES CURSIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?
Cursive
Cursive, also known as script, joined-up writing, joint writing, running writing, or handwriting is any style of penmanship in which the symbols of the language are written in a conjoined and/or flowing manner, generally for the purpose of making writing faster. However, not all cursive copybooks join all letters. Formal cursive is generally joined, but casual cursive is a combination of joins and pen lifts. In the Persian, Arabic, Latin, and Cyrillic alphabets, many or all letters in a word are connected, sometimes making a word one single complex stroke. While the terms cursive or script are popular in the United States for describing this style of writing the Latin script, this term is rarely used elsewhere. Joined-up writing is more popular in the United Kingdom, Ireland and India. The corresponding Telugu word is a transliteration of «Joined-up writing.» The term handwriting is common in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In Australia, the term running-writing is also popularly applied.
Definition of cursive in the English dictionary
The first definition of cursive in the dictionary is of or relating to handwriting in which letters are formed and joined in a rapid flowing style. Other definition of cursive is of or relating to typefaces that resemble handwriting. Cursive is also a cursive letter or printing type.

Handwriting is a vital feature in learning, as it determines the quality of texts that students produce. Basically, cursive writing is one form of handwriting that is not so common in learning environments. Unlike standard writing, cursive writing requires particular skillsets. In this case, the defining feature of cursive writing is continuous texts characterized by looped and connected alphabets. When learning how to write in cursive, it is crucial that learners begin with lowercase alphabets and then move on to uppercase alphabets. In turn, some of the techniques involved include learning the correct body posture, learning the proper way to move hands, and practicing movement exercises.
General Guidelines on Cursive Writing
Handwriting is an essential exercise that determines one’s quality of writing. Like other life qualities, handwriting should be taught to children in their early years of education. The importance of this skill is that it enhances learning and communication through the literacy curriculum. Cursive writing is one of the most notable handwriting form, which entails writing continuous strokes to form words. In other words, writing in the cursive format loops and connects the alphabets to form words. There are different styles of cursive handwriting, allof which exhibit a flowing style. One of the reasons for writing in this format is to increase the speed of writing a text.
Important for Development
Like all other academic exercises, cursive writing has benefits to students and professionals. For example, the outstanding characteristic of cursive writing is that every alphabet has an approach stroke and a carry-on stroke. As such, students can join alphabets as soon as they learn about the letter usage. Basically, this aspect of joining alphabets helps students to master the art of quick and efficient writing. Then, another benefit of cursive writing is that it enables learners to produce neat and legible texts. Also, this skill is enhanced by the feature of cursive alphabets and words, where every letter and word has the same starting point – the “anchoring point.” As a result, this feature enables authors who tend to float off over the page when writing texts.
Cursive Writing Techniques
Some characteristics of cursive writing mentioned in the preceding section give the impression that students must learn how to construct cursive letters and words. Basically, there are several techniques that tutors can use to instruct learners on how to write cursive letters, words, and sentences. Moreover, these techniques include good posturing and the use of hands. In turn, posture is all about how students sit when writing, and the use of hands is about the movement of wrists and shoulders.
Good Posturing
Instructors should teach children how to sit uprightly at a desk. Basically, proper posture involves sitting at elbow height with their feet flat on the floor. In particular, this posture affects the learner’s shoulders and wrists, both of which are vital in developing smooth handwriting. Also, once students master this posturing, instructors should proceed to teach them cursive writing, while its order is critical. Then, tutors should start teaching young learners alphabets that descend below lines on the page. In turn, examples of these are j,y,g. Moreover, once learners understand how to write these letters, tutors should make them write each letter over and over until they develop a flow.
The Use of Hands
About the use of hands, instructors need to teach learners how to move their whole hand and wrist when writing in the uppercase and how to move their fingers when writing in the lowercase. Naturally, most individuals use their fingers when writing, an aspect that constrains one’s hand and handwriting. Therefore, to avoid this aspect, instructors must teach learners how to move the whole hand and fingers. When writing in the uppercase, instructors should teach learners to focus on using their entire hand to write cursive alphabets, but only their fingers for lowercase alphabets. Hence, mastering this practice will enable them to write longer without tiring and produce more graceful handwriting.
Cursive Uppercase and Lowercase Letter Worksheet
Cursive Writing
A worksheet above indicates an example of cursive alphabets in both the uppercase and lowercase. When writing these alphabets, the most critical skill that learners must master is to grasp each letter’s position. As indicated in the worksheet, every cursive alphabet has its own line upon which they are constructed. Here, students must also master the shape of each alphabet. Also, cursive letters are unique and exemplify a sloping feature. Ideally, writing some letters requires a learner to begin at the base of the body line or include loops, which can appear at the top or bottom of the alphabet. Hence, students must understand how each alphabet from A to Z appears in the cursive format they have chosen to use.
Writing Cursive Letters: Step One
The standard practice in cursive writing is first to master how to construct alphabets. Basically, the age of computer usage has replaced this essential practice in many learning institutions. In this case, the best and quick approach to learning cursive writing is to start with lowercase alphabets. Here, mastering how to write b, f, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, and z is critical as they all start with the upward stroke. While some have strokes that fill up the line’s entire height, others have strokes that only reach the dashed line. In turn, some letters, like ‘f,’ go beneath the bottom line. Hence, students need to start with the letter “u,” as it is the easiest to learn in this writing style.
Mastering Lowercase Cursive Alphabets
After mastering “u,” learners should proceed to “o” then “b,” “f,” “k,” and then the rest. Basically, the secret is to start with simple alphabets that have only one stroke then proceed to complex ones, still with one stroke. Moreover, the complexity is in the shape of the latter and not the number of strokes. When learning complex alphabets, a student should start with “h,” whose stroke reaches the top line. Then, a learner arcs to the left to make a downward stroke to the bottom line. Hence, individuals have to cross over the last line right near the bottom and arc up to the dash line to make a downward stroke back down to the bottom line, curling up at the end.
Writing Cursive Letters: Step Two
After mastering cursive writing in the lowercase, students should proceed to master writing in the uppercase. Basically, learners should begin with letters C, E, G, L, and O. Also, they should start with L and then proceed to the others in the group. In turn, these letters represent simple uppercase alphabets. After mastering this group, learners should move to try complex ones, beginning with R and then proceeding to B, D, F, I, J, P, and T.
Writing Cursive Letters: Choosing a Cursive Font
About fonts, students are free to choose any when writing in cursive. Ideally, writers select a font that they intend to use for the rest of their lives. However, a student can master cursive writing in different fonts, many of which are on popular word processors, such as MS Word and Google Documents. In turn, the best way to choose a font is to study each carefully and determine which impresses or seems easy to write. Hence, below is a list of popular fonts:
- Allura
- Aquafina Script Pro
- Blackjack
- Caballero
- Columbine Light
- Kuenstler Script
- Fancier Script
- Lavender Script
- Shelley Script
- Citadel Script
- Buffet Script
- Hummingbird
- Creamy Script
- Ragazza Script
Writing Cursive Letters: Regular Exercise
The best approach to mastering cursive writing is for learners to practice regularly. Basically, it involves committing some time and dedication to write letters and construct words and sentences. In this case, students should prioritize this habit, starting with lowercase and then moving on to uppercase cursive alphabets. Then, perfecting this skill means a learner will have a much easier time writing texts, such as essays, in cursive. For example, students can develop the habit of writing the first draft of their articles in cursive and later typing it onto a word document. As a result, doing so would make it easier to generate ideas and, in the process, gain more experience writing cursive letters, words, and sentences, as indicated below:
When and How to Practice Cursive Writing
The best time for learners to practice cursive writing is when they join grade three. Basically, this practice should continue in grade four, and, by the time children are in grades five and six, they should write cursive letters with little difficulty. As discussed in the previous section, instructors should teach learners starting with lowercase alphabets and then uppercase alphabets. However, for quick perfection, students should practice regularly, both in the school environment and at home or in other social settings. In essence, proper practice is a secret to the quick mastering of the art.
1. Holding a Pen Correctly
Regarding how to practice cursive writing, learning the proper body posture and the right way to use the hand is an essential skill, as indicated earlier in a paper. Here, instructors should teach young learners how to hold a pen or pencil correctly. In essence, a learner’s penmanship can never blossom if students do not master the art of holding the pen in the right way. Moreover, the secret is to grip the pen or pencil so that it rests on the middle finger, holding it in place between the thumb and index finger. Then, students should loosen their grip on the pen or pencil as they write. In turn, a sign that learners have a tight grip on the pen or pencil is the whitening of fingernails. Also, such a grip makes the hand tired and makes the handwriting appear stiff and stilted.
2. Positioning a Paper Correctly
Properly placing a paper enhances effective cursive handwriting. Basically, if a learner is right-handed, a paper should appear in such a way that its top right and bottom left corners line up in a straight line with the learner’s nose. Meanwhile, their left arm should be holding the paper still. For a left-handed learner, instructors should, simply, flip these instructions.
3. Movement Exercises
Since cursive writing involves writing continuous strokes, learners should practice movement exercises frequently. Basically, doing so would train their hand muscles to support the wrist and shoulders, as students engage in the actual writing of cursive words and sentences. While practicing movement exercises, learners should maintain a comfortable, light touch and avoid being tense. Hence, some of the exercises that learners can follow include:
Connecting ovals starting from the top, as below:
Connecting ovals starting from the bottom, as below:
Connecting curves, as below:
How to Become a Professional Cursive Writer
Like any art, cursive writing can be perfected. Basically, the only secret for students is to develop and observe specific habits. For example one of these habits is practicing how to create a linked pattern that exhibits continuous writing as below:
When practicing, learners should pick an easy alphabet, such as “c” or “u,” and try writing one line using the same alphabet. In this case, students would link letters together to form a fluid pattern. Also, they should repeat the exercise by using different alphabets, moving from simple to complex ones.
Chinese and Japanese Calligraphy
One approach that students can use to master cursive writing is calligraphy, a traditional Chinese and Japanese writing style. Here, writers use various brush movements and compositions of dots and strokes to construct letters, words, and sentences. In these traditions, children learn that calligraphy and beautiful handwriting reflect their character and personality. When students use calligraphy to learn cursive writing, they, basically, learn how to write in fluid quickly. Here, flow is more important than precision. Like Chinese and Japanese martial arts, the skill should come from the heart and not the head, thus exemplifying the essence of qi’s supernatural force.
Summing Up on How to Write in Cursive Correctly
Cursive writing is a unique style of writing alphabets, words, and sentences. Unlike the standard writing style, this form of writing involves the use of continuous strokes. In urn, writers loop and connect alphabets to form words. Hence, some tips of effective cursive writing include:
- Start mastering lowercase cursive alphabets and then uppercase.
- Observe neatness when looping and connecting the alphabets.
- Maintain correct body posture.
- Learn the correct use of hands, including wrists and shoulders.
- Select a font early on. For new learners, the font should not be complicated to use.
- Start perfecting easy letters, such as “o” and “u,” that consists of only one stroke of a pen before proceeding to more complex letters, like “h.”
- Avoid being tense or writing too fast.
- Avoid gripping a pen too tightly or losing hands when writing cursive texts.
- Practice movement exercises regularly.
- Consider using a lined paper because it is far better for any writing style, especially cursive.

What Is Cursive Text?
Cursive text is any handwriting or penmanship where the letters or characters are joined together in a flowing manner. While designed to speed up the writing process because it is faster than writing block letters, cursive has been on the decline over the last few decades, especially with the introduction of computer keyboards which speed up writing significantly.
There has however been a recent increase in interest in cursive since it is still used for artistic purposes such as in calligraphy and graphic design.
Origins of Cursive Writing
In English, cursive writing was originally developed in the 17th century to speed up the writing process since writers did not need to lift their quills until the end of a word. Quills used ink quickly and were easily broken so cursive was developed to simplify the writing process with quills. Once ballpoint pens, pencils, and computer keyboards came into existence, there was less need for cursive and so block letters became the norm since block letters are easier to read.
Where Is Cursive Still Used Today?
Typical uses of cursive today include signatures, artistic endeavors, calligraphy, invitations, and graphic design. You can also use cursive on social media using our generator above.

Cursive Letters from A to Z
The following table of cursive writing a to z shows you how each letter in the Latin alphabet can be written in cursive.
You may have learned a slightly different way in grade school (for example, the capital letter “A” sometimes resembled a larger version of the lowercase letter A when using D’Nealian cursive). There are no hard and fast rules about cursive letters although many will try to argue one way or the other.
Here’s another common way to write the cursive alphabet:

Most Russians do not use block letters when writing by hand. You must learn to read and write a script. Because all of you will meet the situation when at some websites, journals or newspapers you will need the text written with typed cursive. And you need to be able to recognize it. Because sometimes it can be really confusing. Some letters look like English ones, for example, Russian Т — looks like English M in cursive. So you can read it wrong if you don’t know how to read it. Also for those people who would like to increase their speed of writing, I recommend learning how to write in Russian with cursive letters because it really will help you to save time. But I know that some people just do not write at all. They use just tablets, computers, cell phones and then for you it’s not necessary but at least you need to be able to read in Russian!
Maybe in one day, you will able to read this medical handwriting:

I’ll give you a few reasons why you should learn to write in handwritten cursive:
1. The writing is very helpful for to memorize the words or at least will help you memorize even if you write things down as there’s no guarantee you memorize it. Later you still have to memorize them something through some other ways like using flashcards (I recommend Quizlet). But still writing the Russian a word down and then his translation is going to help you memorize.
2. What if you wrote all in caps what would happen? What happens when you write everything caps in English? It looks like you’re yelling or it looks like you are four years old or five whatever right before you learn to write in cursive in kindergarten. I mean learning Russian is hard it takes a long time to put sentences together. You already sound like a little kid. So why when you’re writing?
3. Russian cursive is beautiful handwriting especially.
A lot of scientists are now discovering that learning cursive is an important tool for cognitive development because it teaches the brain functional specialization. That’s what allows your brain to integrate things like sensation movement and thinking in the most efficient way possible brain imaging.
Studies show that writing in cursive unlike typing activates multiple areas of the brain at once and is excellent for fine motor coordination. It also helps develop good thinking skills. Research finds that writing letters in a meaningful context instead of just copying or tracing them produces even more robust activity in both hemispheres of the brains.
There’s actually a study done at Indiana University where a psychologist took a group of preliterate five-year-old kids and had them perform various tasks related to reading and writing while undergoing a brain scan turns out. The kids who practiced writing even if it was in print and not cursive displayed significantly more neural activity that kids who were simply looking at letters. That’s right even writing in print is better for you that typing. But there’s something unique about cursive that makes it just so good for the brain.
According to scientists, cursive is more demanding than print in terms of movement tasks and the broad range of letter styles enhances our visual recognition skills. They also say it engages students more by giving them a better sense of style and ownership over their own handwriting. It’s also been shown to enhance creativity a 2012 study from the University of Washington found that children in grades 2 through 6 wrote more words faster and expressed more ideas when writing by hand versus with a keyboard.
A lot of experts compare writing like this to learning a musical instrument in terms of the benefits it has for your brain. Of course, not everyone has the money to pay for music lessons but you know what doesn’t cost $50 an hour a pencil and paper.
I hope one day you will write like a Russian 1-grader from 1956 :-)):
This is great because it’s a well-designed textbook that shows the direction of the strokes of each letter (uppercase and lowercase) with sidelines to improve the height and slope of the letters. It starts with the simple letters (which are very similar to the English letters) as «A», «M», «P», and from here you can practice connecting the letters together and working on smooth writing (i.e. H. Mama, Papa).
Russian Handwriting: Propisi (Volume 1) ->>
There are so many tracing books available for English letters and all the tracing books for Russian I had were shipped from Russia, so this workbook was a savior. Lots of tracing activities to learn the letters, there is a certain order from simpler to more complex lines and additional tracing exercising of pictures that are interesting for the kids. Lovely design. The kids practice tracing the letters and then can practice just writing them. Depending on the age, erasing and making the child redo the letter again at a later time was very helpful. It’s not a think workbook.
Propisi: Russian Letters: Trace and Learn (Propisi for Children) (Volume 1)->>
The Primer shows the directions of each letters’ stroke, upper and lower cases, with page lines to help with the height and the incline of the letters to the right. It starts with the basic elements of the letters needed to be traced over, then the letters themselves, and from this you can practice connecting the letters together and work on smooth writing in accordance with the examples.

You can see that the big letters are very easy recognizable because they are like the same as normal typed letters. But the small ones look a little bit different. Let’s mark those letters that you need to remember and there are only 7 small letters, not capitals letters but smaller ones that really are very confusing. So take a look at them.
It’s б — try to remember how it looks, than в — looks like in English cursive letter b.
The most unusually is г (g) — looks like English s but to the opposite side.
д — it looks really strange, it’s very similar to б so when you are reading the text be attentive and try to remember it. б looks at the same side as the big letter while д just looks to the opposite sides, not to the same as big letter Б in Russian.
и and й — they are almost the same the difference is with a small sign only. You need to remember that this letter is и in Russian or й — и краткое — и short. Because sometimes people confuse it with English u because it’s very similar.
т — this one is the most confused because it looks like English m (em).
The Cyrillic cursive letter ‘т’ looks like an italic English ‘m’. The origin of such writing is the полуустав handwriting style used for writing books in Russia. ‘T’ was like this:
As you can see, it has long serifs coming down from the horizontal bar. And Russians mostly reached the line on which the letters stand, making ‘т’ look like ‘ш’ turned upside down.
You need to remember these seven Russian cursive letters. Write them down and practice recognizing them in the text.
I recommend you to work with reading Russian cursive.
- Put two full alphabet line, from А to Я, then from а to я, one under another or take any text in Russian which you understand, where you know the words. It can be easy sentences or even simple separate words.
- Put it to MS Words or to any other text editor (or on-line Russian cursive generator) and just switch it to cursive because all text editors have this option. Actual modern cursive shorthand will not be differing much from that «italic» version.
- Read aloud this text a few times, at least 3 times.
- Do it during 2-3 days.
And you will feel that by the third day you already read in Russian in cursive really easily. So this is my task to you find the text or words of sentences to make them cursive and to practice reading them. I am sure there will be no problems at all. It’s very easy.
Yes, the Propis’ which is «official» cursive script they teach in schools, would look a bit different, but in real life adults who write a lot and have to be quick, often produce handwriting closer to that «italic» which you will see. The Propis’, for example, usually recommends that you connect one letter to the previous one. In the real script, that is hardly done for more than a few letters. Or not done at all. Just like in «Italic» version of the font.
So ensure you can read the text in «Italic» script. Then it will be much easier for you to understand real Russian handwriting.
Write in Russian cursive
Write in Russian cursive for those people who like to write, who like to include mechanical memory in their learning process. And actually, the letters in handwriting looks a little bit different than in type and cursive. You can see it clearly that all the letters: the capital ones and the small ones — they really look like absolutely different. So you can learn how to write this way and why actually I recommend doing it. Because it really saves your time. It will take some time for learning it how to do it. But in general it will help you in future and you will not spend so much time to write, of course!
And believe me, it’s a good skill and not extremely hard to learn how to do it. So actually let’s pay attention to pictures and let’s see some elements that are mainly used to form Russian cursive alphabet in handwriting.
By the way, I want to pay attention that we all are different people and will have different handwriting write. People wright absolutely different and you can meet like dozens or hundreds of different handwriting in Russian.

How to use the cursive maker
We made the cursive generator because it is amazing that there are so few cursive fonts. Many schools even stopped teaching cursive (it is thankfully making a comeback, however). Cursive fonts are also not part of any standardized font sets, making it difficult to copy and paste.
It’s super simple to use our cursive generator tool. Just follow these steps:
First, start typing some text in the input box above.
Next, choose from one of the 8 fonts by selecting different boxes at the top of the page.
Finally, you can save or view your text so you can take it with you. You can also take a screenshot or try to copy and paste
Can I copy and Paste this text
Yes and no. Does that answer your question, LOL?! So, you can absolutely highlight the text field, copy it, and try to paste the font in another program such as Word. However, unless the font style is installed in the program that you are pasting to, it will paste as default font style.
The fonts listed with the Google Logo (G) will copy and paste into Google Docs, Sheets and perhaps many more places. The fonts listed with the Microsoft Word logo (W) will copy and paste into Microsoft Word, and perhaps other places. Again it depends on which fonts are installed in the application. Of course you can always add a font to an application like MS Word.
There is a set of «web safe fonts» — fonts that are standardized across devices and browsers and software so that the fonts can be cross compatible. Unfortunately, as of 2019/2020 there are no cursive fonts on that unoffical list.
Cursive fonts in microsoft word
If you are looking for cursive fonts that are ALREADY in Microsoft word, we recommend the following:
1) Lucida Handwriting
2) Mistral
3) Segoe Script
If you are looking to share your file, we recommend converting it to a PDF so the font style stays in place. Good luck!

Instructions For Teaching Cursive Writing
Easy Cursive Writing Instructions
Teaching cursive writing can be easy if you make it an adventure. Basically there are six strokes to connect letters:
- A short upswing,
- A short upswing over to two on the clock,
- A tall upswing,
- A short dip,
- A short dip over to two on the clock,
See more instructions below.
If your elementary school students already know how to write in manuscript, encourage them that writing in cursive is as easy as connecting the letters together. The rest is style.
Write the manuscript alphabet on the board or a piece of paper, or some part of it. Then make the connections both on the board and in their minds by drawing the connecting strokes.
That’s it!
Truly, that’s most of writing in cursive.
How To Write Cursive For Beginners
With beginners or those who struggle, another idea for teaching cursive handwriting is to drag your lines on the board as you move to write the next letter in a word. Say the letter or its sound as you write the letters naming the strokes you’re using.
Students like seeing that
- Cursive is smooth and flowing.
- Cursive is pretty and makes fancy writing.
- Writing in cursive is faster than manuscript writing and doesn’t use as many starts and stops.
- Cursive writing helps children see the end of one word and the start of the next word.
What was that?
Yes.
Practicing cursive offers an «Aha!» moment for some reluctant readers. When they see the break between the words in their own handwriting, they often make a better association for where words start and where they end in their reading, certainly in their handwriting.
Cursive Writing Instructions For Adults
Cursive writing instructions for adults is the same as for children. A beginner is a beginner.
Learning how to write in cursive as an adult can actually be easier, especiall if you’ve been printing with an italic hand, meaning your letters already slant as if for cursive script.
Best advice? Long story short?
Connect the letters as you write.
You can learn style as you practice writing in cursive hand.
For adults who will be using these cursive script sheets print the pages «two-up» so that you can use the smaller font and less paper.
No sense trudging through larger handwriting to learn cursive.
It is the same for basic cursive practice sheets for older kids and high school students. Keep it short and sweet.
1. The Alphabet In Cursive
Hi! I recommend products that I think will help you and your children. If you buy through my links I may earn ad commissions at NO extra cost to you. See my FTC Disclosure.
Basically, there are five cursive strokes to add to the manuscript letters.
Romalda Spalding has an excellent description in her book at Amazon, The Writing Road to Reading. In a way, this is my favorite cursive writing book as she makes cursive seem easy.
The whole lesson is only six pages and can be taught in just a few classes. Truly, I’ve seen even small children learn to write in cursive in just two weeks using what she wrote.
She taught several general rules like «All letters sit on the base line.» Then she writes that you should teach the terms for the five strokes as you show how to connect the letters:
- A short upswing from the base line
- A tall upswing from the base line
- A short upswing that curves over to 2 on the clock
- A short dip kept at the mid point.
- A short dip that curves over to two on the clock
You can read more about using her book for teaching reading by teaching writing.
Usually, the capital letters do not connect with the rest of a word, yet these capitals letters can be connected to the rest of a word:
- A, C, E, H, J, L, M, N, R, U, X, Y, Z
Once your students have learned both upper and lower case cursive, they can stay sharp practicing this cursive sentence with all letters present:
- The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

2. Free Cursive Writing Worksheets Using Difficult Cursive Strokes
Enter: The short dip.
Many times it’s hardest for children to get the idea of connecting letters that use the short dip or a connecting loop at the midpoint or midline.
Staying at the mid-line is the trick, and these practice cursive worksheets are the answer.
Since b and o each end at the mid-line, they are difficult letter combinations. Practicing letter combinations with this stroke makes the letters easier to form in everyday handwriting in a continuous stretch of letters.
Use these free cursive writing worksheets to show your students how to write cursive letters that end with a short dip at the midpoint.

Other forms: cursives
Cursive is a style of writing in which all the letters in a word are connected. It’s also known as script or longhand. When the third-grade students learned cursive writing, they were excited to find that they could write entire words without lifting their pencil from the paper.
Cursive comes from the past participle of the Latin word currere, which means «to run.» In cursive handwriting, the letters all run into one another and the hand runs across the page, never lifting between letters. Every time a document asks for your signature at the bottom of a document, you are meant to use this flowing cursive writing style.
