What kids practice
Cursive is joined handwriting. Each letter is made from a few basic strokes, and the letters connect so the pencil keeps moving through a word. Many schools teach cursive in third grade. These sheets use a traditional US school cursive style, and they teach the lowercase letters in small groups that start the same way. Common Core doesn't cover cursive, so these sheets have no Common Core code.
Watch for
- Starting a letter in the wrong place. The green dot shows where to begin.
- Lifting the pencil in the middle of a word.
- Making small letters too tall, so they run past the dashed line.
- Letters leaning different ways in the same word.
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full cursive letters guide for 3rd grade.
