  • Английский (американский вариант)

I will say, very few people nowadays know how to write and read in cursive, besides their signatures. I had to look up the «proper» letters. The versions on the left of the more «correct» versions, and the ones on the right are what I usually do to make sure the word can be read without much confusion. Because when I write in cursive, the «u» and the «v» can look very similar, I intentionally make my V more pointy.

I «cheat» a lot with my cursive so it can be read easily.

@UnChef that’s my handwriting in cursive. I didn’t learn to write like this. it’s just happened without reasoning




  • Английский (американский вариант)

@vladiklukonin Whoa, how cool! It’s always interesting to me to see other people’s handwriting. It looks like the combination of «printing letter» and «cursive letters» that many people do these days. Do you write quickly? Cursive was invented to write faster.




  • Русский

@UnChef yeah, I write quickly, and, in my opinion, it’s more comfortable than to write by «printing letters». I started writing like that recently, as matter of fact, I fast learned without any practice before.

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!

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).

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.

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.

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.

russian cursive letter b

The most unusually is г (g) — looks like English s but to the opposite side.

russian cursive letter g

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.

russian cursive letter d

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.

russian cursive letter i

russian cursive letter i short

т — this one is the most confused because it looks like English m (em).

russian cursive letter t

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.

Russian capital and small written letters

I recommend you to work with reading Russian cursive.

  1.  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.
  2. 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. 
  3. Read aloud this text a few times, at least 3 times.
  4. 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.

The workbook (прописи) for learning and practice Russian cursive writing.

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.

How to write in cursive

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 worksheet sample 2

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.

u cursive writing

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.

lowercase letters

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:

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:

Continuous cursive writing

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.
