How to write in cursive, step by step

  1. Start with lowercase letters. Trace each one over its model, following the numbered dots and arrows, then write it alone.
  2. Move on to the capital letters, one at a time, the same way.
  3. Practice joins: two letters written without lifting the pencil, such as an, br and th.
  4. Write short words, each one as a single joined line.
  5. Finish with whole sentences, leaving a clear space between words. The free PDF covers the first two steps; the ready-made sheets and the generator cover the rest.
