Determination in Cursive
The word determination in cursive: stroke-by-stroke animation, letter joins, a trace check, and a free printable worksheet.
In cursive, determination is written in 5 strokes with 4 pencil lifts: d-e-t-e-r-m-i-n-a-t-i-o-n in one continuous stroke; then go back to dot the i (×2) and cross the t (×2). Press play to watch it drawn on the writing lines, then trace it yourself and print the free worksheet.
How to write determination in cursive
- 1Keep the pencil down through d-e-t-e-r-m-i-n-a-t-i-o-n, letting each exit stroke become the next letter's entry.
- 2Last, return to dot the i (×2) and cross the t (×2) — always after the body of the word is done.
Keep e, r, m, i, n, a, and o small — they live between the baseline and the midline. Let d and t climb toward the topline.
How the letters in determination connect
11 of determination's 12 joins leave the letter on an undercurve. The exception is o-n, where o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the overcurve opening of n.
