Cursive Words Worksheets

Free. No ads. No sign-up.

Every word on the list gets its own cursive row: a solid model with numbered stroke arrows, a dark dotted copy, a light dotted copy, then space to write the word alone.

Pick a built-in list, or choose My own words and type them below.

Cursive words from a list

The generator starts on the Dolch primer list (52 words) in cursive, which fills 8 pages at the Ages 5-6 size. The letters are the same cursive as the cursive alphabet and cursive writing worksheets pages. Any Dolch level, a spelling list or your own words can be chosen in the same menu, and US school print or sloped print are under Letter style.

Questions and answers

Which words can I trace in cursive?

The five Dolch sight word lists, the kindergarten and first grade spelling lists, the short practice sentences, or any words typed under My own words.

Do the cursive words have stroke arrows?

Yes. The solid model word at the start of each row has numbered stroke arrows. Under Options, set Show stroke arrows to Off for a sheet without them.

How is this different from the cursive writing worksheets page?

That page is a ready-made set that moves from single letters to joins, words and sentences. This page draws a whole word list in cursive, in the size, guide lines and paper you choose.

Can I make cursive word sheets for a whole class?

Yes. Under Class set, type up to 30 first names to get one PDF with the same cursive sheet for each student, each with that student's name on the Name line.

What happens with a long word in cursive?

It is drawn smaller, so that the model and at least one dotted copy fit on its row. The other words keep the size you chose.
