Cursive Letter B Worksheets
Cursive Letter B worksheets are used to practice capital B, lowercase b and short words that start with the letter B. This page includes resources for practicing cursive handwriting skills, tracing, and letter formation.
The letter B is valuable to practice in cursive script because it combines a tall stroke, curved lines, and a small tail into the next letter. Lowercase b is also important to learn how to form as it is a great example of how to create taller letters alongside smaller ones.

Big Cursive B Letters
A cursive worksheet where students get extra space to practice the letter B.
The capital letters should be large and rounded while the lowercase letters have a tall stroke before rounding back down. The large letters are useful as they allow students to slow down and observe the shape of the letter before attempting small cursive writing.
Cursive B Upper & Lowercase
This printable places the uppercase and lowercase letters of the cursive B on the same line.
The uppercase B is larger and has a tall and rounded shape while the lowercase b uses the tall stroke for the first part of the letter and a smaller rounded curve at the bottom. Similarly, lowercase b should not be made shorter than the tall stroke. It is very easy for the letter to become too short and similar to other small letters like the letter e.
Cursive B 3 Letter Words
This worksheet is a great way to transition from practicing single letters to writing very short words in cursive. The three letter words are bat, bag, and bee.
The three letter words have the cursive b followed by very different letters. The word bat uses the a that has been practiced in previous worksheets. The word bag uses the tall stroke for b and the letter g while the word bee has two e’s with more space than most other letters.
Where the Letter B Comes From
The letter B came from older alphabetical languages and was used to represent the sound beth. The Greek letter beta was similar and eventually evolved into the modern script we have today. The rounding of the letter is still present in capital B while the lowercase version evolved to include a tall stroke for forming words in cursive.
