Willis in Cursive

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

Willis takes 4 strokes to write in cursive — the capital W on its own, then i-l-l-i-s in one continuous stroke; then go back to dot the i (×2). 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.
