This results in an increasing number of children not learning cursive at all while many others are not spending the time needed to become 100 percent proficient at writing cursive letters.

This specific page teaches how to write a cursive “l” but if you’re looking for how to write any other cursive letter (lowercase or capital), we have similar free online cursive letter resources linked in the sidebar.
