Love Always in Cursive

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

love always takes 2 strokes to write in cursive — l-o-v-e in one continuous stroke, then a-l-w-a-y-s 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.

How the letters in love always connect

Follow the joins as you write love always: l ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of o; o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the overcurve opening of v; v ends on a checkstroke that carries into the undercurve opening of e; a ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of l; l ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of w; the remaining 3 joins follow the same rhythm to the end of the word. Remember: lift between words and leave a finger space.
