Tips for each letter
- A
- Making it look like a giant lowercase a with a short stick. Capital A is tall: the oval reaches the top line.
- p
- Making a loop on the tail. Cursive p goes down and back up the same line, with no loop below.
- 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.
- i
- Stopping to dot the i in the middle of a word. Finish the word first, then dot.
- l
- Making the loop so thin it disappears, so l looks like a tall i without a dot. Keep the loop open.
All lowercase
