Cursive Resources

The videos above will lead students through learning cursive progressively in a way that makes sense! All they need is a marker and notebook paper. 

Other ideas: 

• Make it Multi-Sensory: Handwriting motion is important, but learning the shapes of the letters is also a vital skill! Items like Wikki Stix and Play-Doh are easy to twist and turn into cursive letter shapes.  Tracing letters in sand or the air is also a good way to practice.

• Free Writing: Sometimes the best way to practice cursive handwriting is to just give students a topic or even let them quick write about whatever is on their mind. Free writing, quick writing (5-10 minute sustained writing), and journaling are all fantastic ways to get creative writing juices flowing and handwriting practice in the classroom.  

• Trace and Practice: One of the best ways to learn how to form letters correctly is by tracing cursive letters. 

• Get Creative: Have your students write with highlighters, crayons, colored pencils, or even glitter pens! Your students won’t even realize they’re practicing their cursive writing because they’ll have so much fun using all the creative tools
