Cursive Letter R Worksheets
These cursive letter R worksheets are ideal for teaching the uppercase R, lowercase r or even the short words that start with R. This resource is great for home or classroom and this printable page has letter R worksheets for tracing, writing and practice.
The letter R provides a wonderful opportunity to practice cursive as the lowercase letter r has a small shoulder.
The lowercase r is one of those letters that need to rise up and turn slightly on the top to avoid looking like n or v.
To access the worksheets you need to simply click on the image or the PDF icon below it. All printables are provided as a free printable PDF in US Letter size that should print beautifully on A4 size paper.
Choose a letter to practice cursive handwriting from A to Z.
Here you can get a larger version of the printable to practice forming the cursive R letter.
The capital R needs to be nice and tall and the lowercase r needs the extra space for the small shoulder at the top.
The extra space is needed as the lowercase r is a smaller letter that requires more precision to write correctly.
If the top of the letter r is written too flat it will start to look like a v, and if it is written with too much of an angle, the words will be uneven.

What does this cursive R worksheets page include?
Cursive letter R worksheets fill this free printable page with three worksheets: a big letter tracing sheet, an upper and lowercase R practice sheet, and a page of three letter words that start with R. Each one lets kids trace the shape first and then try writing R on their own, so print out all three for a full round of practice.
Why is the lowercase cursive r tricky to write?
The lowercase r has a small shoulder near the top that needs to rise and turn just slightly, and if that shoulder is too flat or too sharp the letter can start to look like an n or a v. Slowing down and tracing the big letter version first is a great way to get a feel for that shoulder before moving on to regular sized writing.
Can I print these cursive R worksheets on A4 paper?
Yes. All of the worksheets on this page are made in US Letter size but are designed to print out cleanly on A4 paper too, so no matter what paper size your printer uses at home or school you can download the PDF and get started right away.
