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.
- i
- Stopping to dot the i in the middle of a word. Finish the word first, then dot.
- 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.
- h
- Making the hump too narrow, so h looks like an l and an i. Give the hump some width.
All lowercase
