G L Practice Activities
Printable cursive G-L worksheets help children practise g, h, i, j, k, and l with loops, joins, spacing, and readable letter formation.
Practice that builds confidence
What children practise
These printable cursive G-L practice activities help children build smooth, readable strokes for the middle group of cursive letters: g, h, i, j, k, and l. Children practise tall loops, humps, dots, descenders, and careful connections between letters.
The worksheets include guided tracing, independent letter writing, and short word practice so learners can move from forming each cursive letter to using it in connected writing. They are useful for handwriting lessons, extra practice at home, or review after children have learned basic cursive strokes.
This collection focuses on cursive letters from g through l. Children work with letters that use several important cursive movements: the loop and tail in g, the tall loop and hump in h, the short stroke and dot in i and j, the angled upper loop in k, and the tall loop in l. Practising these letters together helps children notice how many cursive letters begin with an entry stroke and continue without lifting the pencil.
Skill progression in the pages
The activities typically begin with tracing so children can feel the direction and size of each letter. They then copy letters on handwriting lines and move into simple connected writing. This progression matters because a child may form l correctly by itself but lose control when joining it to i, h, or k. Repeated practice helps make letter height, slant, and baseline placement more consistent.
Parent routine for home practice
At home, choose one or two letters from the G-L set rather than rushing through all six. Ask your child to trace the model once with a finger, say the movement aloud, then write a short row with a pencil. For example, for j they might say, “up, down below the line, loop back, dot.” End by writing a small word that uses the letter, such as hill, jig, or link, if your child is ready for joins.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages for handwriting warm-ups, literacy centers, morning work, or small-group correction. The G-L group is especially helpful when children need extra practice with tall letters and below-the-line strokes. Pages can also be placed in a writing folder so students can compare their current work with earlier attempts and notice improvements in control and spacing.
Common errors to watch for
Watch for g and j descenders that do not go below the baseline, l and h loops that collapse into straight lines, k that looks like h, and i or j dots placed too far from the letter. Some children also lift the pencil too often, which makes cursive look broken. A helpful child-friendly strategy is “start low, move smoothly, touch the line, then keep going.”

Why iBloom worksheets help
The iBloom worksheets keep the focus narrow: one letter group, clear models, and enough repetition for muscle memory without overloading the page. Because g, h, i, j, k, and l include loops, humps, dots, and descenders, children get a balanced review of key cursive movements while building confidence for connected words.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Which cursive letters are covered in the G-L practice pages?
This collection focuses on the cursive letter group g through l: g, h, i, j, k, and l. Children practise each letter’s shape, placement on the line, and basic connections.
Are these worksheets for beginners in cursive?
Yes. They work well after children have been introduced to basic cursive strokes. The tracing and copying format supports beginners while still giving useful review to children who need neater formation.
What makes g and j harder than the other letters in this set?
Both g and j use descenders, so part of the letter must move below the baseline and return smoothly. Children often keep these letters too high or forget the loop, so slow tracing helps.
How can I help my child improve cursive l, h, and k?
Encourage tall, narrow loops that reach the top handwriting line. Compare l, h, and k side by side so your child can see which parts are the same and where h and k add extra strokes.
Can teachers use these pages in handwriting centers?
Yes. The focused G-L range makes the pages easy to assign for centers, morning work, small-group practice, or targeted review for students who need help with loops, joins, and baseline control.
Is this cursive G-L practice worksheet free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
Can I download this cursive G-L practice worksheet as a PDF?
Yes. Use the worksheet download option to save a printable PDF, or print the worksheet directly from the page.
Does this cursive G-L practice worksheet include answers or an answer key?
When the activity has fixed answers, iBloom includes answer support so parents and teachers can check the completed worksheet.
