Victory in Cursive

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

victory takes 3 strokes to write in cursive — v-i-c-t-o-r-y 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.
