Cursive alphabets: school cursive charts and an elegant script

A cursive alphabet chart helps a child learn joined-up writing and helps an adult relearn it. The nine sheets show school cursive capitals and lowercase pairs on ruled lines with stroke arrows, the lowercase letters with each entry and exit stroke, and an elegant script alphabet with looped capitals. Each school sheet comes upright, slanted or on guided lines. Ask for capitals only, a name or numbers, and the chart is set that way.

Frequently asked questions

What does the school cursive look like?

A plain, even cursive on ruled lines with a dashed midline, so the joins are easy to see.

What is the difference between upright and slanted?

Upright has a round, even stroke with the joins plainly visible. Slanted has a lighter, quicker stroke and narrow oval letters.

What do the arrows show?

The guided sheet has a small numbered arrow at the start of each stroke, showing the direction to write it.

Can I get my name in cursive?

Ask for a name, capitals only or numbers, and the chart is set to that subject.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
