How to Write W in Cursive
Follow simple, flowing strokes to write the uppercase and lowercase letters W neatly. These cursive alphabet worksheets improve handwriting and connecting smoothly to the next letter.
Lowercase Cursive W
-
Start on the baseline. Sweep upward to the right until you reach the midline.
-
Pull straight down to the baseline, then curve smoothly back up to the midline.
-
Without lifting your pen, retrace back down that same line to the baseline, and curve back up to the midline a second time.
-
Once you hit the midline for the second time, do not go back down to the baseline. Instead, finish with a small horizontal flick or "bridge" to the right.
Keep it Balanced: Try to make both "valleys" the same width. If one is much wider than the other, the letter looks lopsided.
The Retrace: Just like the "u," you should retrace your path on the downstrokes to keep the peaks of the letter sharp and clean.
Mind the Slant: Ensure both peaks are leaning at the same angle to the right.
Uppercase Cursive W
-
Think of the starting stroke like an upside-down candy cane. It starts just below the top line, hooks up to touch it, and then drops down. This gives the letter its "capital" look.
-
The bottom curve should be wide and rounded. If it's too sharp, it starts to look like a "V."
-
When you reach the top line for the second time, you must trace back down that same line. This keeps the letter from having a "gap" or a loop on the right side.
-
The tail should sweep out gracefully from the baseline, preparing to meet the next letter.
Begin with a small "candy cane" hook at the top line.
The Bottom: Make the curve wide and rounded (like a bowl) so it doesn't look like a "V."
The Secret: Retrace the second downstroke. Trace back over your line halfway down before branching off into the tail.
The Finish: End with a flick at the baseline to connect to the next letter.
