Cursive Letter K Worksheets
These cursive letter K worksheets are perfect for practicing capital K, lowercase k, and short words that begin with K. This page is ideal for cursive writing practice, tracing, and beginning letter formation at home or in the classroom.
The letter K is unique from many of the earlier cursive letters in that it uses more angular strokes than rounded ones.
The lowercase k begins with a tall stroke, and then adds a smaller leg and arm from the middle of the letter.
This makes the letter K a great choice for practicing control over the writing instrument, especially after practicing earlier letters such as a, c, and o that use more rounded strokes.

Big Cursive K Letters
This worksheet provides extra space to practice the formation of the cursive letter K.
The capital K should be tall and clear, with the angled strokes meeting the main one cleanly.
The larger space is beneficial for this letter as it can be easy to make the middle connection too wide, causing the two sides to be too far apart.
Children can use this space to slow down and ensure that the top and bottom of the capital K are not too far apart as well.
Cursive K Upper & Lowercase
This page places the uppercase and lowercase cursive K next to each other so that children can practice how they differ.
Both letters have tall strokes as their base, but the lowercase k requires a smaller and more controlled middle connection.
The top of the lowercase k should not be too large, as this will cause it to be out of proportion with the rest of the letter and other cursive writing.
The lowercase k also has a lower connection that should not be too far away from the main stroke, or it will no longer look like a k.
Cursive K 3 Letter Words
This worksheet practices the cursive letter K within short words.
This allows the writer to practice the connection of the letter K to other letters within a word before moving on to more challenging activities such as full sentences.
The word key shows the connection from the cursive K to the e, and ends in a y.
The word kid shows the connection from the cursive K to the i, and then ends in lowercase d with another tall stroke.
The word kit shows the connection from the cursive K to the i, and ends in a tall t.
The short words are useful for practicing cursive K because of the letter’s more complex formation.
By practicing within words, the writer can ensure that the smaller connections on the K are not too large and out of proportion.
