Cursive Letter V Worksheets
These cursive letter V worksheets are perfect for learning to form the capital V, the lowercase v and short words that begin with the letter V. On this page you will find printable worksheets for tracing and cursive writing at home or in the classroom.
The letter V is a good choice as it allows us to use a pointing motion rather than a rounding motion to form it.
The lowercase v needs to dip and then return under control or it will turn into a u if the bottom is rounded or become too skinny in the middle if it is too narrow.
To download any of the worksheets simply click on the image or the PDF icon below it. All worksheets on this page are available as a free printable PDF in US Letter size that will print beautifully on A4 size paper using default printer settings.
Choose a letter to practice cursive handwriting from A to Z.
This worksheet provides extra space for children to practice the formation of the cursive letter V.
The capital V should be a well formed tall letter while the lowercase v stays smaller on the line with a dip and finish.
This extra space is useful as the cursive letter V requires us to keep the two sides of the v from moving too far apart.

What worksheets are on this cursive V page?
Three free printable cursive V worksheets make up this page: a big letter tracing sheet, an upper and lowercase V practice page, and a page of short words that begin with V. Cursive V uses a pointing motion rather than a rounding one, which makes it a nice change of pace from rounder letters.
Why can lowercase cursive v be confusing to write?
If the bottom of the lowercase v is rounded instead of pointed it can start to look like a u, and if it is too narrow it can look pinched in the middle. The oversized worksheet helps kids control that dip and keep the two sides from drifting too far apart.
Are these V worksheets free printable PDFs?
Yes, every worksheet on this page is a free printable PDF in US Letter size that also prints beautifully on A4 paper.
How V Connects to U and W
The letter V has some interesting connections to the other letters in the alphabet.
The letter U and the letter V were very similar in earlier Latin script and not always differentiated in writing.
The letter W is also closely connected because it developed from doubled U and V forms.
This is also why W is sometimes referred to as double u.
This means it is important to make the v clearly pointed and not too narrow so that it can be easily distinguished from the other letters.
The letter v in cursive needs to be formed in a way that makes it easy to connect other letters without making the writing illegible.
