Tips for each letter
- d
- Making a loop on the tall stick. Cursive d goes up and back down on the same line, with no loop.
- a
- Leaving the top open, so a looks like u. Close the circle before you slant down.
- 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.
- h
- Making the hump too narrow, so h looks like an l and an i. Give the hump some width.
- t
- Making t as tall as l, or adding a loop. Cursive t is shorter than the tall letters and has no loop.
- e
- Making the loop too big, so e looks like l. The loop stays below the midline.
- 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.
