Cursive Handwriting Practice

This book is written for grown-ups relearning cursive, with no pictures and nothing childish. Four pages of letter charts show all 52 letters with a numbered start point and arrows. Each of the 12 speed drills has you trace a word such as committee, then fill the lines with it for a minute and note your count in three boxes. The 12 pangrams were written for this book, and each uses all 26 letters. Everyday words cover the days, the months, notes, cards, a shopping list and work vocabulary. Signature pages use made-up names for practising capitals, then give ruled lines marked with an x where your own name goes.

Questions

Do I need to have learned cursive before?

No. Start with the letter charts. If you want a full page for each letter, the Cursive Alphabet book in this shop has one, though this book is the one written for adults.

Can I use it to copy someone else's signature?

No. The names on the signature pages are made up, and the last pages are for your own name.

How long does a drill take?

One minute per try, with three tries on a page. Use any clock.

Can I type in it?

No. It is a flat PDF for printing and writing by hand.

Printer and paper are not included. These are practice pages, not lessons, and they make no promise about handwriting results. Digital files cannot be returned once downloaded; if a file does not open or a link is broken, send a message through Etsy. License: for your personal use only. No resale or sharing of this file. AI helped write the listing text, the how-to text, the words and sentences, the stroke order and the code that builds this file. Scripts tested: the 52 letters on the charts, the arrow directions on 17 letters (the loops of b, f, h, k, l and S, where I and J start, the entry strokes of i, j, t, u and w, the retrace arrows on a, d and u, one stroke for E and two for H), that no two number circles overlap, that each pangram has all 26 letters and none is a well-known one, that each trace matches its printed line, repeats, the names, the contents links, overflow and ink near the page edge. No person is claimed to have checked it unless stated here.
