Fire in Cursive

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

fire takes 2 strokes to write in cursive — f-i-r-e in one continuous stroke; then go back to dot the i. 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.
