Top 20 cursive alphabet charts and handwriting worksheet websites for teachers (2026)

• Best for stroke order, on-screen tracing and fading practice
• Free

A free, open source set of handwriting tools. The cursive worksheet generator makes sheets for words, names and spellings with stroke order, arrows and numbered starting points, and you can trace words on screen with a finger or stylus. It also has fading practice, where the words to trace fade away, and a game where you join stars to make letters.

The hub page says all resources are free, with no signup and no adverts.

Watch for It follows the UK primary school curriculum and the page names no US style such as Zaner-Bloser or D'Nealian, so check the letters against your school's chart.

• Ours
• Best for teaching cursive on the projector, with no ads or sign-in
• Free

Of the pages we read, the only one where a pen writes any typed word in joined cursive with sound and a beat: a count-in, a soft pencil scratch and a tick at every stroke, so the class air-writes along on the projector. Present mode shows one giant letter with numbered strokes, runs a hands-free warm-up of 1, 3 or 5 minutes, and lets a child trace the letter on the board with a finger and earn stars. Every printed chart and tracing page has numbered strokes and arrows; the sheet maker makes one page per student from a pasted class list (kept in the browser, never in the share link), fading dots, four slants and pen license cards.

Free, no sign-in and no ads; Peabody is free through the end of 2026 (as of 2026-10-29).

Watch for One simplified cursive model drawn for the site, not Zaner-Bloser, D'Nealian or Handwriting Without Tears (the page says so); the slant setting only gets closer. On-screen tracing is one letter at a time, not whole words, and there is no PDF or PNG download button (print, then Save as PDF).

• Free

A free cursive site where each letter is drawn one stroke at a time and has an on-screen tracing pad you can use with a finger or a mouse. It makes printable practice sheets for any name or word.

• Free
