They in Cursive
The word they in cursive: stroke-by-stroke animation, letter joins, a trace check, and a free printable worksheet.
they takes 2 strokes to write in cursive — t-h-e-y in one continuous stroke; then go back to 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 they in cursive
- 1Write t, h, e, y as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
- 2Go back and cross the t.
t and h are tall letters that reach toward the topline. y drops below the baseline. e stays between the baseline and the midline.
How the letters in they connect
Follow the joins as you write they: t ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of h; h ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of e; e ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of y.
