CURSIVE HANDWRITING

Learning to write in cursive handwriting is one of the highlights of third grade. The links on this page will show you the correct formation of each cursive letter.

After we learn the letters in class, please practice writing at home. Remember to practice writing the letters the proper way. PRACTICE MAKES PERMANENT! If you practice incorrectly, you will always write incorrectly.

When I teach cursive I will not be going in alphabetical order. Instead, I will teach letters with similar strokes. KidsZone.ws had a great way to group the letters to make learning easy and fun:

• Rockin' Round Letters: a, d, g, q, c

• Climb and Slide Letters: i, u, w, t

• Loopy Letters: e, l, h, k, b, f, j

• Lumpy Letters: n, m, v, x

• Mix and Match Letters: p, r, s, o, y, z
