September in cursive
This is how September looks in school cursive: 9 letters, and the parts to watch are that capital S does not join, be is a high join and p goes below the line. Print the sheet below to practise it.

How to write it, step by step
- Write capital S, then lift your pencil: in school cursive, S does not join the next letter.
- Join the rest of the letters without lifting your pencil: e, p, t, e, m, b, e and r.
- Watch the high join (be): after b, o, v or w, the next letter starts at the midline, not the baseline.
- Let the p drop below the baseline and loop back up through it.
- When the word is finished, go back to cross the t.

Tips for each letter
- S
- Writing it like a print S. Cursive S starts with an undercurve from the baseline.
- e
- Making the loop too big, so e looks like l. The loop stays below the midline.
- p
- Making a loop on the tail. Cursive p goes down and back up the same line, with no loop below.
- t
- Making t as tall as l, or adding a loop. Cursive t is shorter than the tall letters and has no loop.
- m
- Adding a fourth hump or losing one. Cursive m has three humps (three slants down); n has two.
- b
- Dropping the ending to the baseline. b ends high, at the midline, so the next letter starts from there.
- 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.
