"Cursive Writing Practice: Writing Individual Letters" is a worksheet that invites students to practice their cursive writing skills one letter at a time. The worksheet starts by having students copy a single letter multiple times. Then, they get to write a word that starts with the letter below.

Next, a word clue section lists strings of words without spaces. Words are listed below with missing letters. Students must fill in the missing letters, using the word clue section to help figure out which letter is missing. This activity helps them learn how to write cursive letters, but it also helps them recognize cursive letters in writing.

There's also a section where students write the same word over and over again, focusing on forming the focus letter in the word. For example, they might write the letter "f" to complete the word "felt" or the letter "c" to complete the word "coffees."

You can make practicing cursive writing less intimidating and more engaging if you allow students to focus on forming one letter at a time but within the context of actual words. For example, students can practice writing the letter "f" over and over again to start. Then, they can write the letter "f" in different words where the other letters have already been written. For example, students could write the cursive letter "f" to complete "fox" or "face." This allows them to focus on forming a single letter while exposing them to the way other cursive letters are formed.
