Cursive S Worksheets
On this page, you will find a complete set of free printable cursive S worksheets designed to help children and beginners learn how to write the letter S smoothly and confidently. Each worksheet offers guided tracing activities and clear instructions to make handwriting practice simple, structured, and enjoyable.
In this collection, you’ll find three focused worksheet types that build skills step by step: Big Cursive “S” Letters, Cursive “S” Upper & Lowercase, and Cursive “S” 3 Letter Words.
Big Cursive S Letters
The Big Cursive “S” Letters worksheet introduces the elegant curves and soft loops of the cursive S. Starting with large forms helps students clearly see each motion while gaining better control over their pen strokes.
To write a cursive capital S, begin slightly below the top line, curve upward to the left, then loop downward in a smooth wave-like motion, finishing with a small tail that connects to the next letter. For lowercase “s,” start at the midline, make a gentle upward curve, then move down and back around to form a smaller curve that joins to the right.
Encourage learners to trace these large letters slowly, focusing on the smooth transitions between curves. Practicing at a larger size helps build coordination and prepares students for smaller writing later on.
Cursive S Upper & Lowercase
The Cursive “S” Upper & Lowercase worksheet helps students connect uppercase and lowercase S in one continuous motion. This exercise improves consistency, spacing, and smoothness in handwriting.
Start with a capital S and continue directly into a lowercase s without lifting the pen. The motion should feel natural and flowing rather than rigid. Have learners trace several examples to get used to the rhythm before writing independently.
Remind them to keep a light hand and even pace for neat, balanced writing that maintains an even slant across the page.
Cursive S 3 Letter Words
The Cursive “S” 3 Letter Words worksheet gives students the opportunity to practice using the letter S in short, connected words.
Examples such as “sun,” “sip,” and “sad” are great for showing how cursive S joins with other letters. Encourage students to start with tracing and then move on to writing the words on their own. Reading aloud while writing can help reinforce both sound and letter shape.
Repeating these exercises several times improves rhythm, speed, and confidence in cursive handwriting.
