Kind in Cursive

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

kind takes 2 strokes to write in cursive — k-i-n-d 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.
