Cursive Letter C Worksheets
Cursive Letter C worksheets to practice capital C, lowercase c and 3 letter words that begin with the letter C. This printable page is perfect for kids to trace cursive letters as well as practice simple writing exercises at home or school.
The letter C is a great letter to start with if you are working on perfecting open curves in your child’s cursive writing. They should learn to keep the opening in the letter C unclosed or it will begin to look more like an O, especially if they are writing smaller letters.
The lowercase cursive c can be harder to space out correctly, as well. The opening in the letter shouldn’t be too small or it will begin to look like an o and if it’s too big, it will appear to have missing space.
To get started, simply click any of the images or the PDF icon below it. All of the worksheets on this page are a free printable PDF in US Letter size that should print beautifully on A4 size paper by default.
Big Cursive C Letters
A worksheet to practice forming the open curve of the cursive C letter.
The capital C should also be written with an open curve but it’s usually a little bigger and the opening is on the right side of the letter to make it easier to read. The big size of this particular letter will help kids slow down and make sure that the whole way down the curve of the letter is even. This is a great option to do before they start writing smaller cursive letters.
Cursive C Upper & Lowercase
This worksheet puts the upper and lowercase form of the letter C side by side.
Both of these forms of the letter C use an open curve but the uppercase C takes up more space on the line. The lowercase c should always be smaller and the end stroke visible but not too long to lead into the next letter.
Cursive C 3 Letter Words
This printable moves on to 3 letter words that begin with the letter C. The words are cat, cup and car.
As kids trace these words they’ll notice how the letter c flows into the next letter in each word. The letter a comes after the cursive c in cat and connects with it. The word cup uses the same connection but with the letter u but the opening in the c should still be visible. Finally, car is connected from c to a to r which will give them a little more practice on the ends of the letters.
How C and G Are Connected
The letter C holds a very special place in the history of the alphabet because of its connection to the letter G. In fact, the letter C was used to represent more than one sound in the early Latin language before the letter G was invented. This makes the letter C a little unique since it is one of the few letters that were changed specifically to make the alphabet easier to read and write.
The cursive form of the letter keeps the open curve of the printed form but has a little more freedom with the finishing stroke so that it can connect back to the next letter in a word easier.
