About this worksheet

Cursive is easiest to learn in letter families that share a first stroke (the c-family a, d, g, o, q; the loop family b, e, f, h, k, l). Typing a family as a string, like "a d g o q", makes a targeted sheet.

Teaching tip

Practice the joins between letters, not only single letters. "Ba be bi bo bu" is better practice than five separate b’s.
