Cursive GeneratorWhat each letter page holds
Every letter from A to Z has its own page: the capital and lowercase in a classroom cursive face with the stroke order animated, the steps for forming each, the mistakes learners make, how the lowercase joins the next letter, the letter in six display fonts, a practice sheet in US Letter and A4, and the practice words and names that start with it. The letters are drawn from the traditional slant model, the one most US classrooms teach.
Learning order
Lowercase before uppercase, because lowercase letters do most of the work and their strokes underpin the capitals. Within the lowercase, learn in families that share a motion: the undercurve openers i, t, u, w, e, l, b, h, f and k; the overcurve openers n, m, v, y and x; the oval letters a, d, g, o, q and c; then the descenders. The capital letters page explains which capitals join to the letter after them and which stand alone; the joins page covers the pairs that trip most learners.
Charts and practice
The wall chart prints the whole alphabet on three-line rules in two sizes. The worksheet generator prints any letter, word or sentence with traced and dotted rows, and the alphabet worksheets pack has the letter families ready to print. Type a name in the box above to see it in the classroom face before you print.
