Cursive alphabet: capital and lowercase letters A–Z

Most cursive letters look like slanted print with connecting strokes. A few change shape, and they are worth extra practice: cursive r rises to a small peak, cursive s has a pointed top and closed bottom, cursive z loops below the baseline, and cursive f reaches both above and below the line.

Four lowercase letters end high at the midline instead of at the baseline: b, o, v, and w. The letter after them starts from that high tie.

Capitals differ more than lowercase letters between handwriting programs. In this model, A, G, I, and M stay close to print, while many school alphabets use looped capitals for them. Each letter page says where this model differs.

These models use Dancing Script, an open-license connected script font. It is not D’Nealian, Zaner-Bloser, or Handwriting Without Tears cursive, and it has no stroke-order arrows or numbered starting points. Compare the shapes with the learner’s classroom chart, and read the handwriting styles guide for the differences between school styles.
