The order to learn them in

Schools don't teach cursive a to z. They group letters by the stroke they start with, so each new letter reuses a movement you've just practised. Daily practice here follows that order:

Lowercase letters: i t u w e l b h f k r s j p a d g o c q n m v x y z

Capital letters: A O C E D N M H K U V Y Z X W P R B T F I J Q G S L

Write anything in cursive

Type a word, a name or a sentence and see it written in joined-up cursive, ready to print as a tracing worksheet.

Learn it a few letters a day
