Tips for each letter
- M
- Making the humps all the same height. In school cursive the humps of M are about even; keep them tall.
- i
- Stopping to dot the i in the middle of a word. Finish the word first, then dot.
- c
- Making the hook too big, so c looks like an e or an a. Keep the top hook small.
- h
- Making the hump too narrow, so h looks like an l and an i. Give the hump some width.
- a
- Leaving the top open, so a looks like u. Close the circle before you slant down.
- e
- Making the loop too big, so e looks like l. The loop stays below the midline.
- l
- Making the loop so thin it disappears, so l looks like a tall i without a dot. Keep the loop open.
All lowercase
