Cursive Letter e Tracing Worksheet
Cursive e is a small loop, like a tiny lasso. It is one of the most common letters, so it appears in almost every cursive word.
What’s on the cursive e worksheet
Cursive E and e to copy, dotted e rows to trace and join, the words egg, eel and elf, and a line for your child’s own e.
How to write cursive e
Start on the baseline with an undercurve that swings up to the dashed line. Loop back down to the left and finish with an undercurve to the right along the baseline.
What to watch for
The loop of e can easily close up into a filled blob. Keep the loop open and small.
Joining e to other letters
The tiny loop finishes low, so e is easy to join from and to. Doubled letters like ee in bee are great for building a steady rhythm. Practise ee, el and en, then write egg and bee. A joined row of e letters looks like a chain of tiny loops.

Cursive e questions
How is cursive e different from cursive l?
Both are loops, but e is short and stays in the middle space; l reaches the top line.
Should the loop of e be open?
Yes, there should be a small gap inside the loop so it does not look like a dot.
