Start in Cursive
How to write the word start in cursive — watch it drawn, trace every stroke, and take the free worksheet to paper.
start takes 3 strokes to write in cursive — s-t-a-r-t in one continuous stroke; then go back to cross the t (×2). 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 start in cursive
- 1Write s, t, a, r, t as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
- 2Go back and cross the t (×2).
t is a tall letter that reaches toward the topline. s, a, and r stay between the baseline and the midline.
How the letters in start connect
Follow the joins as you write start: s ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of t; t ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of a; a ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of r; r ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of t.
