The Cursive Alphabet

All twenty-six letters, capital beside lowercase, on the ruling they are written on.

The cursive alphabet from A to Z, each capital beside its lowercase, on a four-line school ruling

Written in the traditional US school model — the looped, joined cursive of the Zaner-Bloser and D'Nealian copybooks, which is the model every sheet on this site is set in.

Print the chart

Print at 100% on US Letter — not “fit to page”. The ruling is classroom size, and scaling the page down makes every letter the wrong size; the 10 cm scale at the foot of the sheet is there to check against.

One letter at a time

Some letters give more trouble than others, and it is not a matter of taste: the ones people look up are the ones whose written form cannot be guessed from the printed one. Those have a page of their own, with the stroke order and a sheet for that letter alone.

Any word, not just the letters

The handwriting repeater takes a word you type and writes it out across the same ruling, as many lines as you want — a name, a spelling list, or the one letter that is not going in.

Write it, do not just read it

A chart tells you the shape; only your hand learns it. The A to Z practice sheet gives you every letter with a model row, a pale row to trace and empty ruled rows of your own.

See how close yours is

Write a line by hand, photograph it, and our AI scores letter formation, spacing and slant against the model on this page.

Learn it in order

The course teaches the letters in families that share a movement, which is a faster route than working through the alphabet alphabetically.
