Tips for using it
Letters before words
Beginners can type a single letter repeated, like “a a a a”, to practice one letter's shape before joining letters into words.
Practice the joins
Pairs like “oa”, “br” and “ve” are where cursive gets tricky. Type a short list of words that use them.
Keep sessions short
Ten minutes a day of tracing and copying builds the movement faster than one long weekly session.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes, free and unlimited, with no sign-up.
Which cursive style is it?
Playwrite US Trad, a typeface modeled on the traditional cursive taught in US schools. Letter shapes vary between handwriting programs, so check it matches the one your school uses.
Why light gray instead of dotted?
Cursive letters join, so a dotted outline gets crowded. Light gray is easier to trace over. You can switch to dotted under Tracing.
