Cursive Letter V Worksheets

These cursive letter V worksheets focus on capital V, lowercase v, and short words that begin with V. The letter V is a useful cursive practice letter because it uses a pointed shape instead of the rounded motion found in letters like a, c, o, and u.

Lowercase v should dip clearly and rise back up with control. If the bottom becomes too rounded, it can start to look like u. If the point is too sharp or narrow, the letter may feel squeezed inside the word.

Big Cursive V Letters

This worksheet gives children more room to practice the pointed shape of cursive V. Capital V should look tall and open, while lowercase v should stay smaller with a clear dip and upward finish.

The larger format is helpful because V needs balance on both sides of the letter. Children can slow down and check that the two strokes do not lean too far apart or collapse too close together.

Cursive V Upper & Lowercase

This page places uppercase V and lowercase v together so children can compare their size and movement. The capital letter takes more height, while lowercase v stays closer to the writing line.

Lowercase v should keep a clean point at the bottom without turning into a wide curve. The exit stroke should also rise gently toward the next letter, so the word can continue without looking broken.

This page is useful for practicing a letter that feels different from the rounder cursive letters around it.

Cursive V 3 Letter Words

This worksheet moves cursive V into short words such as van, vet, and vow. These words help children practice how v begins a word before connecting to different following letters.

In van, the v moves into a rounded a before the word ends with n.

In vet, the v connects into e and then finishes with t, so the small middle letter needs clear spacing.

In vow, the v moves into o before the word changes into the wider shape of w.

These short words are helpful because they show how cursive v can move from a pointed beginning into rounded, tall, or wider letters.

How V Connects to U and W

The letter V has a close history with U and W. In older Latin writing, the same general shape was used in ways that later became separated into the modern letters U and V.

W also grew from this same family of forms, which is why its name still sounds like “double u” even though it often looks like two V shapes.

That makes V a good letter to notice carefully. In cursive, it should stay pointed enough to read as v, but not so sharp that the letter becomes cramped or hard to connect.
