Grab all ten of my cursive letter R tracing worksheets here. Each individual printable worksheet is free and you can select from the variations below.
The variations below include upper case and lower case ‘Rr’ versions for a variety of cursive writing practice activities as well as common R words for early learners to practice their cursive writing style. The pages are presented roughly in difficulty order, starting with easy sheets focusing on individual letters, then progressing to full cursive words with r-words, then finally bringing it all together with cursive practice on full ‘R’ sentences.
The sheets are designed to be printed on A4 paper in portrait mode. Make sure you select “shrink to fit” for best printing results, and “grayscale” if you want to save on color ink.
