G L Practice Activities
Printable cursive practice for letters G to L, helping children trace, form, and connect these letters with smoother strokes.
Practice that builds confidence
What children practise
These Cursive Writing worksheets focus on the letter group G to L, giving children careful practice with cursive forms such as g, h, i, j, k, and l. Children work on correct starting points, loops, curves, slants, and finishing strokes so each letter becomes easier to recognise and write.
The printable activities include guided tracing, independent letter writing, and short practice lines that help children move from slow copying to more confident handwriting. They are useful for home revision, classroom handwriting practice, or extra support for children who need more control with cursive letters.
In this G–L cursive letter set, children strengthen the middle section of the alphabet. They practise tall loop letters such as h, k, and l, letters with descenders such as g and j, and simpler joining movements around i. This mix is helpful because it asks children to control both upward and downward strokes while keeping letters on the writing line.
How the skill progresses
The activities usually begin with tracing, where children follow the model and learn the direction of movement. They then copy the same letter with less support and finally write it independently. Encourage children to say the movement softly, such as “up, loop, down, join,” while writing. This builds memory for the stroke pattern, not just the shape.
A simple parent routine
At home, choose one or two letters from G to L at a time. First, ask your child to trace the model with a finger. Next, let them trace with a pencil, then write three neat letters on their own. End by asking them to circle their best letter and explain why it is neat. This keeps practice short, focused, and positive without turning handwriting into copying alone.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these pages during handwriting lessons, early finisher tasks, or writing centres. They also work well for small-group support when children are struggling with spacing, slant, or line placement. Display one letter at a time, model the stroke on the board, and then let pupils complete the matching worksheet with reminders about posture, pencil grip, and paper position.
Common errors to watch for
Children may start cursive letters from the wrong point, make loops too narrow, forget the dot on i or j, or let the tails of g and j float above the lower line. Some may write h, k, and l at different heights. A helpful check is to ask: Does the letter sit on the line? Is the loop clear? Can the next letter join from the ending stroke?

Why iBloom worksheets help
iBloom worksheets give repeated, clear practice without crowding the page. The G–L grouping lets children compare similar movements and notice differences between letters that rise high, dip below the line, or use small connector strokes. A child-friendly strategy is “trace, say, write, check”: trace the model, say the stroke path, write it independently, and check one thing to improve.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Which cursive letters are practised on this page?
This page focuses on the G–L letter group, giving children practice with cursive letters g, h, i, j, k, and l.
Why are G to L useful to practise together?
These letters include tall loops, lower tails, and small joining strokes, so children get varied practice with line placement and smooth cursive movement.
How should my child use these worksheets at home?
Start with finger tracing, then pencil tracing, and finally independent writing. Ask your child to choose their neatest letter and check its starting point, loop, and line placement.
What mistakes are common in cursive g and j?
Children often make the lower tail too short, start from the wrong place, or fail to bring the stroke back smoothly for the next join. Slow tracing helps correct this.
