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: i, n, c, e, r, e, l and y.
- Let the y drop below the baseline and loop back up through it.
- When the word is finished, go back to dot the i.

Tips for each letter
- S
- Writing it like a print S. Cursive S starts with an undercurve from the baseline.
- i
- Stopping to dot the i in the middle of a word. Finish the word first, then dot.
- n
- Pointy tops that make n look like u upside down. The humps are round on top.
- c
- Making the hook too big, so c looks like an e or an a. Keep the top hook small.
- 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.
- l
- Making the loop so thin it disappears, so l looks like a tall i without a dot. Keep the loop open.
- y
- Leaving the loop open below the line. Bring the tail back up so it crosses at the baseline.
