Cursive U Worksheets
On this page, you will find a complete set of free printable cursive U worksheets designed to help children and beginners learn how to write the letter U smoothly and accurately. Each worksheet includes tracing activities and step-by-step practice to make learning cursive handwriting easy and enjoyable.
In this collection, you’ll find three focused worksheet types that build skills step by step: Big Cursive “U” Letters, Cursive “U” Upper & Lowercase, and Cursive “U” 3 Letter Words.
Big Cursive U Letters
The Big Cursive “U” Letters worksheet introduces the rounded and connected motion of the cursive U. Starting with larger forms helps students understand the shape, spacing, and smooth flow of this simple yet elegant letter.
To write a cursive capital U, start at the top line, curve downward to the baseline, then loop back up to form a rounded shape before adding a small tail for connection. For lowercase “u,” begin at the midline, curve down and back up twice to create two gentle humps, and finish with a rightward connecting line.
Encourage learners to trace these large letters slowly, keeping their pen strokes even and fluid. Practicing big shapes first builds muscle memory and prepares them for smaller writing later on.
Cursive U Upper & Lowercase
The Cursive “U” Upper & Lowercase worksheet helps students connect uppercase and lowercase U in a single continuous motion. This section focuses on balance, proportion, and the rhythm of smooth handwriting.
Start with a capital U and continue directly into a lowercase u without lifting the pen. Keeping a steady motion between the two letters helps build a sense of natural flow and spacing.
Have students trace several times before writing independently. Remind them to keep a relaxed wrist and light pen pressure for the best results.
Cursive U 3 Letter Words
The Cursive “U” 3 Letter Words worksheet allows learners to use the letter U in short, simple word exercises.
Examples such as “urn,” “use,” and “cup” help show how cursive U connects seamlessly with other letters. Encourage students to begin by tracing the words, then practice writing them on their own while focusing on rhythm and consistency.
Repeating these exercises helps learners strengthen their writing coordination and gain confidence with every attempt.
