Terri in Cursive

How to write the name Terri in cursive — watch it drawn, trace every stroke, and take the free worksheet to paper.

Terri takes 4 strokes to write in cursive — the capital T on its own, then e-r-r-i in one continuous stroke; then go back to dot the i and finish the T. 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.
