What is cursive?
Cursive is handwriting in which the letters of a word are joined, so the pen stays on the page for most of the word. The joined strokes make writing faster and give it a steady rhythm, which is why cursive has been taught in schools for generations.
Styles differ. The letters on this site follow traditional American school cursive, simplified to a single line so you can see exactly where the pen goes. Capitals in particular vary between programs, so if your school uses a different model, treat these as a guide to the movement rather than a rule.
