This cursive handwriting on the window activity will encourage a functional grasp on the pencil, an extended wrist, and improved letter formation. Learning cursive letters with creative writing techniques makes new concepts fun and memorable.
My daughter is all about learning cursive lately. When I share a fun way to practice, she is even more into it! One day, I taped a piece of paper to the window for creative cursive practice. Using a gel highlighter and a pencil makes this activity easy to set-up and efficient for learning.

- Tape paper to a window.
- Write cursive lines with a highlighter or marker. I used a gel marker which is perfect with it’s smooth writing lines. The gel glides onto the paper and with the glass surface of the window, it really provide a a lot of feedback for writing the smooth lines of cursive letters. Let your child write with the gel marker to try it, too!
- Have your child trace the highlighter with a pencil. The light will shine through the highlighter lines and make a great tracing line. You can practice beginning strokes like we shared in this post, cursive letters, and words with connecting cursive lines.
- It can be helpful to teach similar cursive letters together in groups. Read more about cursive letter families.
