Free Cursive J Worksheets

In this version, learners can do a progression of difficulties, all in one sheet. Students start with the lowercase j (practicing that loop from the bottom up to the next letter), uppercase J, then the words jam and jet, with a focus on keeping the pen on paper as you move between letters.

In this version, students practice the lowercase j letter on repeat, with the idea that they will develop muscle memory and strong familiarity with the form and stroke pattern of the letter by the end of this sheet. Students get the chance to practice the letter 78 times on this sheet.

This is a page for practicing the uppercase J. Students can come to learn the simplest stroke structure for writing the letter, develop muscle memory and experience with the letter, and come to understand that the capital letter does not have a flick to move onto the next letter.

Here, we combine the previous two pieces, with students practicing the uppercase and lowercase versions side by side. Students develop an understanding of the different shapes and structures of the two, while recognizing they have the same semantic meaning.

In this version, students move onto writing the letter in the context of a word. Here, they practice the word jam/Jam, focusing on connecting that lowercase j up through to the top of the a. In the uppercase version, students still need to connect the a to the m but write the J on its own.

For our next word, students practice uppercase and lowercase j’s in the word jet/Jet, with a focus on linking the lowercase j to the e, then the e to the t. Students will need to return to the j and t once the word is completed to dot the i and cross the t.

Our third and final word is juice, where I’ve only included the lowercase j version as it’s the one that requires cursive linking. Here, students practice the whole word lifting the pen, before returning to do the i and j.

Next, students practice all three of our focus words on one page (jam, jet, and juice), helping students to demonstrate mastery before moving onto full sentences, which will be out next level of difficulty.

After completing individual words, we move onto cursive sentence practice, where students practice writing the simple sentence “The boy jumped for joy eating jam” three times over.

Our final sentence has a ton of practice j letters that can be written in the context of a fun story for kids. Our story reads: “Jenny joyfully spreads jam on jumbo jelly-filled rolls and drinks a jug of juice.”
