Cursive Uppercase Letters Worksheets

What is published under uppercase letters

26 of the twenty-six uppercase letters have a sheet: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y and z. That is the whole alphabet, and it was written in stroke-family order rather than A to Z.

The published sheets touch five of the five stroke families: family 1 (i, t, u, w), family 2 (e, l, h, f, k, b), family 3 (a, c, d, o, g, q), family 4 (n, m, v, x, y, z) and family 5 (r, s, j, p). Letters are grouped by the movement that starts them, which is why b sits with the loop letters and not with a — a child who has the movement can usually get the next letter in the same family in a fraction of the time.

Where this fits in the sequence

Cursive is taught in stroke families rather than alphabetical order, and uppercase letters sits at a particular point in that run: the undercurve letters (i, t, u, w) come first, then the loop family (e, l, h, f, k, b), the oval family (a, c, d, o, g, q), the slant letters (n, m, v, x, y, z) and finally the mixed strokes (r, s, j, p).

Uppercase Letters is stage 2 of 7 in that sequence. Lowercase Letters come first and should be comfortable before this page is much use. Letter Connections, Word Practice, Sentence Practice, Paragraph Practice and Themed Worksheets come after.

These sheets are written for grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 and exercise letter tracing, letter repetition and letter in words. Every one prints on US Letter or A4 with four-rule guided lines — solid topline, dashed midline, solid baseline, dashed descender — so letter height stays consistent from the first sheet to the last.
