Tim in Cursive

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

Tim takes 4 strokes to write in cursive — the capital T on its own, then i-m 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.
