Tips for each letter
- S
- Writing it like a print S. Cursive S starts with an undercurve from the baseline.
- 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.
- u
- Rounding the bottom points into a w. Cursive u has two points at the top, not three.
- 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.
