Open in Cursive
Watch the word open drawn in cursive stroke by stroke, trace it on the writing lines, and print a free practice worksheet.
open takes 1 stroke to write in cursive — o-p-e-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.
How to write open in cursive
- 1Write o, p, e, n as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
p drops below the baseline. o, e, and n stay between the baseline and the midline.
How the letters in open connect
Follow the joins as you write open: o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the undercurve opening of p; p ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of e; e ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of n.

open is only as good as its letters. Each card links to the full guide — animation, joins, quiz, and worksheet — for that letter.
