Right in Cursive

Watch the word right drawn in cursive stroke by stroke, trace it on the writing lines, and print a free practice worksheet.

right takes 3 strokes to write in cursive — r-i-g-h-t in one continuous stroke; then go back to dot the i and cross the t. 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 right in cursive

  1. 1Write r, i, g, h, t as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
  2. 2Go back and dot the i and cross the t.
Strokes: 3Pencil lifts: 2Letters: 5

Keep r and i small — they live between the baseline and the midline. Let h and t climb toward the topline. g dips under the baseline before swinging back up.

How the letters in right connect

Follow the joins as you write right: r ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of i; i ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of g; g ends on an overcurve that carries into the undercurve opening of h; h ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of t.
