The word can in cursive: stroke-by-stroke animation, letter joins, a trace check, and a free printable worksheet.
can takes 1 stroke to write in cursive — c-a-n in one continuous stroke. 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.

- 1Write c, a, n as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
c, a, and n stay between the baseline and the midline.
How the letters in can connect
Follow the joins as you write can: c ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of a; a ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of n.
