About these 3rd grade cursive handwriting worksheets
These 3rd grade cursive handwriting worksheets review every lowercase and capital cursive letter, practise the tricky joins after b, o, v and w, and then move to real words and sentences: days of the week, months, number words, animal words, pangram lines, proverbs, an all-about-me page and a short poem.
Each word or sentence is shown as a model, then as a dashed copy to trace, then with empty handwriting lines, so a child moves from copying to writing on their own.

How to get the most out of them
- 1
Check the slant first: all letters should lean the same way. Tilting the paper slightly helps right-handed and left-handed writers alike.
- 2
Keep sessions short — one page a day — so the letters stay neat instead of rushed.
- 3
Ask your child to sign cards and notes in cursive. Using it for something real is what makes it last.
3rd Grade Cursive Handwriting Worksheets — questions parents ask
- Do schools still teach cursive in 3rd grade?
- Many U.S. states require cursive again, and 3rd grade is the most common year to teach or review it. These sheets work as review after 2nd grade or as a first course.
- Which cursive style is this?
- The sheets use a traditional U.S. school cursive with looped ascenders and connected letters, close to the style most American classrooms teach.
