Why practise your name in cursive?
Your name is the word you will write most often in cursive, and a signature is still needed on forms, cards and documents. Practising it as one joined word builds the smooth, connected movement that makes cursive fast.
Watch the capital
Some cursive capitals join the next letter (A, C, E, G, J, K, L, M, N, R, U, Y, Z) and some do not (B, D, F, H, I, O, P, Q, S, T, V, W, X). If your name starts with a non-joining capital, finish it, lift the pencil and start the next letter with its own upstroke. The worksheet shows this automatically.
Tips
- Write the whole name, then go back to dot the i and cross the t.
- Keep every letter slanting the same way.
- Once tracing feels easy, cover the dotted rows and write the name on the empty lines.
To practise single letters first, open them from the cursive alphabet.
