How to Create Cursive Worksheets

Start with simple words and 3–5 lines. Trace the dotted or gray letters, then write the same word on the line without tracing. Move to longer words and full sentences once the joins feel natural. To see a name in cursive first, try our cursive handwriting name generator.

Which Cursive Font Should You Choose?

Dancing Script is a flowing, decorative script that looks lovely for names and short phrases, but its capitals and joins are more stylised than most school models. Edu QLD Beginner uses simpler pre-cursive joins and is closer to a classroom style. Letter shapes differ between schools and countries, so check which model your child is taught and pick the font that looks most like it.

Good Words to Start With

Begin with words made from similar strokes, such as mum, man and mini, then move on to short everyday words like cat, sun and hat. Names, days of the week and spelling-list words come next, followed by whole sentences. Type one word per line in the text box and each row of the worksheet will show a different word.

Using the Three Guide Lines

The top line shows where tall letters such as l, b and h reach. The dashed middle line is the height of small letters like a, c and e, and the base line is where every letter sits. Joined writing depends on consistent size, so point to the lines as your child traces and ask them to keep the small letters at the dashed line.
