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.
- u
- Rounding the bottom points into a w. Cursive u has two points at the top, not three.
- g
- Leaving the loop open below the line. Bring the tail back up so it crosses at the baseline.
- s
- Writing it like a print s. Cursive s is a point at the top and a small closed belly at the bottom.
- t
- Making t as tall as l, or adding a loop. Cursive t is shorter than the tall letters and has no loop.
