Cursive Letter C Worksheets
Cursive Letter C worksheets to practice capital C, lowercase c and 3 letter words that begin with the letter C. This printable page is perfect for kids to trace cursive letters as well as practice simple writing exercises at home or school.
The letter C is a great letter to start with if you are working on perfecting open curves in your child’s cursive writing. They should learn to keep the opening in the letter C unclosed or it will begin to look more like an O, especially if they are writing smaller letters.
The lowercase cursive c can be harder to space out correctly, as well. The opening in the letter shouldn’t be too small or it will begin to look like an o and if it’s too big, it will appear to have missing space.
To get started, simply click any of the images or the PDF icon below it. All of the worksheets on this page are a free printable PDF in US Letter size that should print beautifully on A4 size paper by default.

A worksheet to practice forming the open curve of the cursive C letter.
The capital C should also be written with an open curve but it’s usually a little bigger and the opening is on the right side of the letter to make it easier to read. The big size of this particular letter will help kids slow down and make sure that the whole way down the curve of the letter is even. This is a great option to do before they start writing smaller cursive letters.

What is included in the cursive letter C worksheets?
Cursive letter C worksheets include 3 printable c coloring page style worksheets, a big letter version for large scale tracing practice, an upper and lowercase C worksheet, and a page with 3 letter words that begin with C. Together they help kids move from tracing the shape of the letter to using it in real short words.
Why is the letter C tricky for kids to write in cursive?
The letter C relies on an open curve, and kids often close that opening by accident, which makes the letter look like an O instead of a C. Practicing the big version first helps children feel the shape of the curve before they try writing it smaller in a word.
What age is the cursive C worksheet best for?
Cursive C worksheets suit kids who are just starting cursive handwriting, usually early elementary age, though anyone working on their cursive C for the first time can benefit from the extra large tracing lines. Many kids enjoy coloring in the big cursive C letters once they have finished tracing them, turning practice into a bit of a c coloring page as well.
Can I print the cursive letter C worksheets for free?
Yes, all three worksheets are free printable PDFs sized for US Letter paper, and they are formatted to print correctly on A4 paper too. Simply click the image or the PDF icon to open and print at home or school.
How C and G Are Connected
The letter C holds a very special place in the history of the alphabet because of its connection to the letter G. In fact, the letter C was used to represent more than one sound in the early Latin language before the letter G was invented. This makes the letter C a little unique since it is one of the few letters that were changed specifically to make the alphabet easier to read and write.
The cursive form of the letter keeps the open curve of the printed form but has a little more freedom with the finishing stroke so that it can connect back to the next letter in a word easier.
