A word at a time
Cursive is learned in words, not letters, because the joins are the whole point: the way an o hands off from its top to the next letter, the way a b or v closes and lifts. This page takes one word and shows it in every copy-paste style and in 20 cursive fonts, so you can compare how each face handles the same joins.
Random word
The Random word button pulls from the site's word pages: common practice words, phrases people search for such as "love" and "family", and pangrams that cover every join in the alphabet. Each of those pages shows the word in every font, its joins broken down, and a practice sheet. Use it as a drill: write the word by hand, then compare it with the classroom face on its page; for spelling lists and sight words, the worksheet generator prints whole lists with trace rows.
Practising a word
Once you have a word, the practice sheet on its page prints it as a model row, a traced row, a dotted row and blank rows. Write the whole word in one movement wherever the face allows it; lift only for i-dots, t-crossbars and the capitals that require it. The worksheet generator makes the same sheet for any list of words.
Copy or image
Copy-paste styles suit bios, captions and messages and stay editable. The font versions download as transparent PNG or SVG for prints, cards, crafts and cutting machines: text where the destination accepts only text, an image where the look must be exact.
Words versus names
Names get their own tool because capitals dominate them and because people want a signature-style render and a practice sheet of one name. Words are usually lowercase and about the joins, which is what this page is built to show. If you type a name here, it still works; the name generator simply offers more for that case.
Capitals in words
A capitalised word shows how the capital joins, or does not, to the letter after it; the capital letters page lists the thirteen capitals that connect. Type the word both ways to see the difference.
Sharing a word
The link in the address bar carries the word in the fragment, so sending it opens the same result for someone else without anything being stored on this site.
