About this worksheet
Eight animal names to trace in joined cursive, each with a small picture: cat, duck, frog, owl, pig, snail, whale and zebra. A dark copy, a light copy and room to write the word on your own. Second graders usually finish it in 10 to 15 minutes.
Tips for using it
- Practice the small letters before the capitals, and the letters with the same start stroke together (a, c, d, g, o, q).
- Slant the paper a little, the same way the letters lean, so the pencil moves comfortably.
- Say "up, over, down" out loud while tracing: talking through the stroke helps the movement stick.
Printing tips
Download the PDF for the sharpest result and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). The PNG is 300 DPI, which is handy for tablets and coloring apps. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
