A real sheet made with Cursive Practice.

Not sure which one your child will like? Make one of each and let them choose.
Try Both Sheets →The generator writes the name in joined cursive and lays out the handwriting lines for you, so there is no cursive font to find and nothing to line up by hand.
Open the Activities tab in the generator and pick Cursive Practice in the Activity menu.
Write a first name, a full name like Mary Elizabeth or a short word, up to 20 characters. Accented letters like the í in Sofía work too.
List the drawings to place around the rows, such as dinosaurs and volcanoes. Then generate the sheet and print as many copies as you need.

Start Creating Now →Besides the name and the handwriting lines, each sheet has the drawings your child asks for, so the cursive handwriting practice has a reward at the end of the page.
The drawings sit above and below the rows, so a child traces the name five times and then gets to color the kittens, dinosaurs or horses they picked.
The name is written in dotted joined cursive at the start of each row, followed by open space to practice writing it again.
Every row is three-line handwriting paper with a dashed midline, the guide children use to size small letters and tall letters.
Full names like Mary Elizabeth fit on each row, and names with accents like Sofía keep their accent.
Downloaded sheets have no watermark, so they print clean at home or at school.
Type the name and add the drawings they love around it.
Create a Cursive Name SheetThe sheet works the same for one child at home, for a class learning cursive, and for a pack you make to sell.
Make one sheet per student with each child's name for the first weeks of cursive, morning work or a writing center.
Pick a new set of drawings each week, so the same name practice feels like a new page every time.
Put your child's favorite animals or toys around the name, so the cursive practice ends with a page to color.
