Ivan in Cursive
Watch the name Ivan drawn in cursive stroke by stroke, trace it on the writing lines, and print a free practice worksheet.
Ivan takes 2 strokes to write in cursive — the capital I on its own, then v-a-n in one continuous stroke. The animation below draws it on the writing lines exactly the way children practice it in Scribble; trace it after, then take the worksheet to paper.
How to write Ivan in cursive
- 1Write the capital I, then lift the pencil.
- 2Write v, a, n as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
Size is what makes Ivan readable: full-height capital I and midline-height v, a, and n. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.
How the letters in Ivan connect
Follow the joins as you write Ivan: v ends on a checkstroke that carries into the downcurve opening of a; a ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of n. Remember: the capital I stands alone, so lift the pencil before the next letter.
