This easy worksheet warms up your cursive skills with three quick activities. In Fix the Sentence, you will rewrite statements about pencil pressure, whether capitals like D, P, and B connect to the next letter, and where tall letters f, h, and k actually reach on the lines.
Fill in the Blank asks about the undercurve at the end of lowercase s, when to lift your pencil to cross a t or dot an i, and the three writing zones around the baseline. True or False wraps up with the unique f that has both an ascender and a descender. You will leave knowing the rules that keep your handwriting smooth and readable.

Cursive Handwriting
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
In cursive, you should press down hard so the ink is dark and thick.
Rewrite: In cursive, you should use light, even pressure so your writing flows smoothly.
2. Fix the sentence:
Cursive capital letters like D, P, and B always connect directly to the next letter.
Rewrite: Many cursive capital letters like D, P, and B do not connect to the next letter.
3. Fix the sentence:
The cursive letters f, h, and k are short letters that only reach the midline.
Rewrite: The cursive letters f, h, and k are tall letters that reach the top line.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The cursive lowercase letter s ends with a small undercurve that helps connect to the next letter.
2. When writing a cursive word, you lift your pencil only to cross a t or dot an i or j.
3. The three writing zones in cursive are above the midline, between the midline and baseline, and below the baseline.
4. Cursive lowercase letters c, a, and d all start with an overcurve stroke that curves backward.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. The cursive lowercase letter f is unique because it has both an ascender and a descender.
True False
2. In cursive, you should write each letter separately and then draw lines to connect them.
