Cursive Alphabet: Letter L Worksheet

Cursive L

The cursive L is a graceful and flowing character in cursive alphabets that is both simple to write and essential to master. Writing the letter L allows you to practice fundamental cursive skills. Practicing the cursive L is helpful because it often appears in words like “love,” “light,” and “lamp.” Writing these words gives you a chance to practice the letter and improve your handwriting flow.

How to Write Cursive L?

Writing the cursive L is simple and involves just a few steps. Start with a smooth upward stroke from the baseline to the top line. Make a gentle loop at the top. Now, bring the stroke down in a curve to the baseline. End with a short tail that connects to the next letter. These steps help you keep the cursive “l” consistent in size and shape.

How to Connect Lowercase Cursive Letter L

Once you know how to write the cursive L, then connecting it to other letters is easy. The upward stroke and looping tail naturally link to letters like “e,” “o,” and “i.” Practice connecting them regularly to improve smoothness. For example, in the word “light,” the “l” starts the flow and leads into the next letters. Regular practice boosts your confidence and makes your handwriting more fluid.

How to Write Uppercase Cursive L

Start the capital cursive L with a vertical stroke rising from the baseline to the top line. Curve the stroke slightly to the left at the top, then draw a long downward line that is smooth and straight. Finish the “L” with a small curve at the bottom that flows gently to the right. Keep the lines elegant and fluid to create a clean letter.

How to Connect Uppercase Cursive Letter L

To connect the uppercase cursive L, extend the tail at the bottom slightly to the right, allowing it to flow into the next letter. This subtle extension creates a natural link to the following stroke. For smooth transitions, ensure that the movement between letters is continuous, especially when writing words like “Love” or “Lamp.”
