How to write the name, step by step
- Write capital B, then lift your pencil: in school cursive, B does not join the next letter.

- Let the j drop below the baseline and loop back up through it.
- When the name is finished, go back to dot the j and dot the i.

Tips for each letter
- B
- Trying to join B to the next letter. In school cursive, B stands alone.
- e
- Making the loop too big, so e looks like l. The loop stays below the midline.
- n
- Pointy tops that make n look like u upside down. The humps are round on top.
- j
- Turning the tail to the right. The loop of j always goes back to the left.
- a
- Leaving the top open, so a looks like u. Close the circle before you slant down.
- m
- Adding a fourth hump or losing one. Cursive m has three humps (three slants down); n has two.
- i
- Stopping to dot the i in the middle of a word. Finish the word first, then dot.
