Cursive Z Worksheets
On this page, you will find a complete set of free printable cursive Z worksheets designed to help children and beginners learn how to write the letter Z with smooth, confident strokes. Each worksheet provides clear tracing guidance and simple, step-by-step practice to make cursive handwriting enjoyable and effective.
In this collection, you’ll find three focused worksheet types that build skills step by step: Big Cursive “Z” Letters, Cursive “Z” Upper & Lowercase, and Cursive “Z” 3 Letter Words.
Big Cursive Z Letters
The Big Cursive “Z” Letters worksheet introduces the flowing curves and loops that make up the cursive Z. Beginning with large forms helps students understand how each stroke connects while developing control and precision.
To write a cursive capital Z, start at the top line, draw a gentle curve to the right, then loop downward and back left in a smooth motion, finishing with a small connecting tail. For lowercase “z,” begin at the midline, form a soft curve that moves right and down, then loop below the baseline before curving back up lightly.
Encourage students to trace these letters slowly and carefully, keeping their pen movement relaxed and steady. Practicing large shapes first helps them gain confidence before working on smaller handwriting.
Cursive Z Upper & Lowercase
The Cursive “Z” Upper & Lowercase worksheet helps learners connect uppercase and lowercase Z in a single, continuous motion. This section focuses on smooth transitions, spacing, and maintaining rhythm between the two letter forms.
Start with a capital Z and flow directly into a lowercase z without lifting the pen. The connection should feel natural and even. Learners should repeat this movement several times to strengthen control and consistency.
Remind students to keep their strokes light and to focus on balance between height and width. Smooth, steady motion is key to mastering cursive Z.
Cursive Z 3 Letter Words
The Cursive “Z” 3 Letter Words worksheet allows students to apply what they’ve learned by writing short, simple words that begin or include Z.
Examples such as “zip,” “zig,” and “zoo” are great for showing how cursive Z connects to other letters. Encourage learners to trace each word several times, then write freely across the lines to improve fluency.
Reading each word aloud while writing helps with memory and rhythm, turning practice into a more engaging experience. Repetition builds confidence and results in smoother handwriting over time.
