Trenton in Cursive

Watch the name Trenton drawn in cursive stroke by stroke, trace it on the writing lines, and print a free practice worksheet.

Trenton takes 4 strokes to write in cursive — the capital T on its own, then r-e-n-t-o-n in one continuous stroke; then go back to cross the t 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.

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

Follow the joins as you write Trenton: r ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of e; e ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of n; n ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of t; t 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.
