How to practise a word in cursive
- Look at the whole word. Notice where the pencil lifts and which letters go below the line.
- Trace it slowly. The grey letters on the sheet show the joins exactly.
- Write it alone. Then compare with the model and circle your best try.
Questions parents ask
Should I dot the i while writing the word?
No. In cursive you finish the whole word first, then go back to dot the i and j and cross the t and x.
Can I use these for cards and lettering?
Yes. Practise a few times on the sheet first, then write it on your card.
