Letterpaths is a handwriting practice resource with letter-formation materials linked to the UK primary school curriculum. Its worksheet generators cover cursive, joined, print, and pre-cursive writing. The cursive generator makes printable practice for words, names, and spellings, while print and pre-cursive sheets can show guide lines, stroke order, arrows, and numbered starting points. Tracing activities include guided practice with plain, snake, and rollercoaster skins, plus freehand tracing using grey word shapes and checkpoints. The apps open in a browser and can be installed for a full-screen experience on phones and tablets; instructions cover Android and iPhone or iPad. Cursive worksheet settings are encoded in the page URL, so users can save or share a sheet by copying its link. The associated cursive font can be used on the web and in desktop apps such as Microsoft Word or Apple Keynote. Letterpaths is free forever, with no signup or adverts. Its public GitHub repository describes a TypeScript library that returns handwriting geometry data for other applications to render.
