Cursive Handwriting Workbook

Cursive gets easier when you learn it in the right order: single letters, then how letters connect, then whole words. This workbook follows that order.

It starts with posture, the four writing lines and the difference between short, tall and tail letters, followed by a warm-up page of loops, waves and bridges. Then every letter from A to Z gets a full page, lowercase and uppercase, with gray letters to trace, empty rows to write on and one practice word.

After the alphabet come 16 common joins such as br, th, wh and ing, then short words, longer words and two pages of sentences. A progress chart with a star for each letter keeps younger writers going, and there's a certificate at the end. The same pages work for adults who want to fix their handwriting, since the guides and letterforms don't look childish.

• Cover and a how-to page: posture, the four lines, short, tall and tail letters
• Cursive alphabet chart, uppercase and lowercase
• Warm-up page with loops, waves and bridges
• 26 letter pages, A to Z, with tracing rows, writing rows and a practice word
• Joining letters: 16 common joins on two pages
• Short words, longer words and two pages of sentences
• Blank practice paper, a progress chart and a certificate of completion

Print at Actual size (100%) on plain printer paper, so the line spacing stays correct. To practice the same letter many times, put the page in a clear sheet protector and use a dry-erase marker.
