How Cursive Works

Unlike our print and precursive fonts, cursive requires a more advanced programming approach. Each word and animation has to be individually designed and integrated. Thanks to invaluable feedback from our community, we’ve created a robust set of over 1,500 animations in each of the the eight cursive fonts.

Here’s what’s included:

  • All 676 two-letter combinations (aa, ab, ac… zz)
  • A curated list of 200 frequently used words
  • Specialised lists of 225 words organised by types of joins (e.g., diagonal joins to short letters, horizontal joins to tall letters, etc.)—perfect for teaching cursive in a logical, sequential way.

These words will be available with both uppercase and lowercase initial letters to help create sentences. For any words not yet programmed in cursive, they’ll seamlessly revert to their precursive equivalent. For example, words in Victorian Cursive that aren’t available will appear as Victorian Precursive (unjoined) instead. You can these non-programmed words as an opportunity for students to practise their joins independently (Gradual Release Of Responsibility) while still copying correct spelling.

What’s Next for Cursive?

We’re just getting started! We plan to expand the word list over time based on your feedback. Your input is invaluable, and we’re excited to keep improving the cursive experience.

At this stage, audio support isn’t available for cursive, but it’s something we’re considering for future updates.
