Cursive Letter D Worksheets

These cursive letter D worksheets are ideal for writing the uppercase D and lowercase d and practicing words that begin with this letter. This printable page is perfect for tracing and basic cursive letter development at home or in the classroom.

The cursive D is a great letter to be focusing on since it uses the rounded body with the tall top stroke. The lowercase d can be a challenge to write at first due to the need to make the top part of the letter reach up above the writing line before curving back down again.

This means that the lowercase d is a fantastic letter to help children practice height as part of their overall cursive letter development.

It is important for the kids to practice writing capital D in a larger size, while the lowercase d also has the additional challenge of having a smaller base.

The larger letters give the kids the opportunity to see what the rounded base looks like compared to the tall top stroke before progressing to practicing their smaller cursive letters.

If the oval base of the lowercase d becomes too wide then it will make the letter look uneven, while if it is not tall enough, it can start to resemble an a.
