Leonardo in Cursive

The name Leonardo in cursive: stroke-by-stroke animation, letter joins, a trace check, and a free printable worksheet.

Leonardo takes 2 strokes to write in cursive — the capital L on its own, then e-o-n-a-r-d-o 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.

Size is what makes Leonardo readable: full-height capital L, tall d, and midline-height e, o, n, a, and r. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.

How the letters in Leonardo connect

Follow the joins as you write Leonardo: e ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of o; o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the overcurve opening of n; n ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of a; a ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of r; r ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of d; the remaining 1 joins follow the same rhythm to the end of the word. Remember: the capital L stands alone, so lift the pencil before the next letter.
