Cursive Words Worksheets for 3rd Grade

What your child practices

These 60 worksheets for 3rd grade (Grade 3 in Canada) cover Cursive Words, with 240 questions of cursive practice in total. The pages go in a set order, so each one builds on what your child just practiced. Neat, fluent handwriting lets older children keep up with longer writing tasks, so a few minutes of focused practice each day goes a long way. The set runs from Farm Animals to Compound Words 2, one skill per sheet. Cursive is not part of the Common Core, so these sheets follow a clear letter by letter path instead. Answer keys sit on page 2 of each PDF, so checking takes seconds. Finished a sheet? The online version reads every question aloud and checks answers instantly.

Tips for parents

• Aim for neat, steady writing rather than speed; speed comes with practice.
• Keep sessions short, about ten minutes, and stop while it is still fun.
• Practice the same letters on a whiteboard or in sand for variety.
