Tips for each letter
- E
- Making the middle loop too big, so E looks like a 3 backwards. Keep the loop small.
- l
- Making the loop so thin it disappears, so l looks like a tall i without a dot. Keep the loop open.
- e
- Making the loop too big, so e looks like l. The loop stays below the midline.
- a
- Leaving the top open, so a looks like u. Close the circle before you slant down.
- n
- Pointy tops that make n look like u upside down. The humps are round on top.
- o
- Dropping the ending to the baseline. Cursive o ends high, so the next letter starts from the midline.
- r
- Rounding the top so r looks like an i or an n. The small flat step at the top is what makes the r.
