How to Make Your Own Cursive Writing Sheets

Cursive writing is an important skilled learned at the elementary level. Like other basic skills, worksheets and drills can help children remember rules and patterns. Cursive writing sheets work in the same manner. These sheets focus on one important skill or pattern that a child should notice while they're writing. Over time, a child will combine the lessons learned and will be able to write effortlessly and without the aid of a writing sheet. To create an effective writing sheet, focus on one concept, provide written examples and a spot to write in.

Instructions

    • 1

      Create a writing sheet focusing on common letters for introductory learners. For example, you can make a sheet that focuses only on rounded letters such as letters A, D, G, Q and C. Practicing these letters together will make it easier for a child to write any rounded letter since they all have a similar shape or have common features. Other common characteristics that you can focus on include looping letters (E, L, H, K, J, B and F) and bumpy letters (N, M, X and V). An example of all the letters should be provided.

      Focus on important words once a child has mastered each individual letter. This type of writing sheet will provide an example of one word that the child will be expected to duplicate a specified amount of times. The words you choose can be grouped into categories, such as common names, proper nouns and months. This writing sheet will teach a child how to string letters together.

    • 3

      Make a writing sheet focusing on sentences for children who can successfully write out complete words. The sentence will include words that have already been practiced or at least have common characteristics of words that are already mastered. The same sentence should be repeated multiple times to promote memorization and mastery of the skills needed.

      String simple sentences together to form paragraphs for the most advanced learners to duplicate. Paragraphs will provide you multiple opportunities to test the skills that should have been learned. The entire paragraph can focus on one skill or each sentence can focus on a different skill.
