Tips for each letter
- 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.
- p
- Making a loop on the tail. Cursive p goes down and back up the same line, with no loop below.
- y
- Leaving the loop open below the line. Bring the tail back up so it crosses at the baseline.
