Why cursive sheets look different

Dashes work here

Cursive strokes are continuous curves, so a dashed outline follows the movement of the pen. On upright print the strokes are straight and thin, and dashes break letters like E, F and H into pieces — so the tool uses a hollow outline there instead.

Letters connect

Entry and exit strokes join each letter to the next, which is the part children actually have to learn. Tracing a joined name is closer to real writing than tracing separated letters.

Usually later than print

Cursive is typically introduced around Grade 2–3, after print letterforms are steady. The 1/2 and 3/8 inch presets exist for that stage.
