Tips for each letter
- J
- Making the top loop too small. Cursive J has a big top loop and a smaller bottom loop.
- a
- Leaving the top open, so a looks like u. Close the circle before you slant down.
- c
- Making the hook too big, so c looks like an e or an a. Keep the top hook small.
- k
- Forgetting the small loop, which turns k into an h. The little loop at the midline is what makes it a k.
- s
- Writing it like a print s. Cursive s is a point at the top and a small closed belly at the bottom.
- o
- Dropping the ending to the baseline. Cursive o ends high, so the next letter starts from the midline.
- n
- Pointy tops that make n look like u upside down. The humps are round on top.
