Cursive Letter P Worksheets
These printable cursive letter P worksheets are a great practice tool for kids learning capital P, lowercase p, and short words beginning with P. On this page you’ll find cursive letter P tracing worksheets for kids that are ideal practice at home or in the classroom.
The letter P is an excellent letter for kids to practice as the capital P keeps its shape while being quite tall, and the lowercase p curves below the writing line.
The lowercase p also requires a certain amount of control of the writing utensil to ensure that it doesn’t curve too far or run onto the next writing line.
The rounded top should also not be squashed to ensure the letter p is not left looking a little lopsided.

Big Cursive P Letters
This worksheet gives kids plenty of room to practice the cursive letter P.
To form a capital P, kids must create an evenly spaced tall line with an evenly rounded top.
The lowercase cursive p has a long descending stroke that is made in one motion and a small curve at the top of the letter.
The writing area may need to be made larger as the letter P requires strokes above and below the writing line. The capital P stays above the line and the lowercase p goes below the line.
This worksheet can also help kids slow down their writing and ensure that the whole letter P stays in control from top to bottom.
Cursive P Upper & Lowercase
This worksheet shows the uppercase and lowercase letter P together which helps kids practice with the differences in height and placement of the letters.
The uppercase P has a tall stem that is formed from the baseline while the lowercase p goes below the baseline before finishing with a small curve that travels upwards to meet the next letter.
The long descending stroke of the lowercase p should also be created so that it is clearly visible at the bottom of the letter.
The small curve at the top should also not be overly tight so that the letter looks evenly spaced and not too squashed.
This worksheet helps kids to practice the creation of the letter P that requires height, space and a controlled lower stroke.
Cursive P 3 Letter Words
This worksheet helps kids to practice the cursive letter P in three letter words such as pet, pen and pig. These three letter words help kids to practice how far the lowercase p travels in a word before connecting to the next letter.
In the word pet, the p connects to an e before the word finishes with t.
The word pen then connects from the p to the e and then to the n.
The long descending stroke of the p drops below the writing line while the small connecting strokes of the next two letters still need to fit nicely within the word.
The word pig then connects from the p to the i before finishing with g.
This word practice helps kids to ensure that they create the letter p below the writing line before connecting to the next letter.
These worksheets can help kids to practice the letter p in words with other letters that need to stay level with the rest of the word.
