Whitney in Cursive

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

Whitney takes 4 strokes to write in cursive — the capital W on its own, then h-i-t-n-e-y in one continuous stroke; then go back to dot the i and cross 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 Whitney readable: full-height capital W, tall h and t, midline-height i, n, and e, and below-the-line y. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.

How the letters in Whitney connect

Follow the joins as you write Whitney: h ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of i; i ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of t; t ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of n; n ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of e; e ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of y. Remember: the capital W stands alone, so lift the pencil before the next letter.
