How to do a b in cursive

Writing a Lowercase b in Cursive

Begin your stroke a little above the bottom of the line you’re writing on. Then, move up and slightly to the right. Once you are near the top of the line, loop sharply to the left and begin another line downward. Very near the bottom, loop to the right and up.

An alternative way is to actually lift and start the join from lower down on the last stroke of the b, instead of the small downstroke before the join.

In cursive, the uppercase letters that end on the baseline connect to the second letter of the word. In Logic of English®️ curriculum, this is taught in Rhythm of Handwriting – Cursive, and we have specific instruction about it in Foundations B.

Cursive F: Writing a Capital Letter F

From the center of the top of the F, bring your stroke down to the bottom line, making a small tail off the left side. After, cross the f in the center with a single line. Please watch our short tutorial video showing exactly how to write both upper and lowercase.

The lowercase cursive s is less recognizable if you’re not familiar with cursive. It almost looks like a little sail, with a line extending up and to the right to connect to the next letter. Because cursive is meant to be written faster than print, understanding how the letters connect can help you be a faster writer!

A cursive capital D is going to be the harder one of the two letters, as you can see in the diagram (above). The lowercase letter d is similar to the lowercase handwritten letter d, but you add a small tail to the stem of the letter.

However, the lowercase cursive letter g is similar to the handwritten lowercase g. The capital letter g in cursive is like many other capital letters in the cursive alphabet, it does not connect with the other letters in the word. The lowercase g usually connects to the letters a and e in words like: gallon.

A lowercase cursive h is similar to a lowercase handwritten h. You want to begin your stroke just below the dotted, center line. Bringing your stroke up to the top line and slightly to the right. Once at the top line, make a loop coming back down.

Writing an Uppercase N in Cursive

As you see in the diagram (above), begin the capital N in the upper left on the top line. Take your stroke down to the bottom line, after that bring your stroke back to the top line. Take your stroke back to the bottom, finishing your initial stroke.

Writing an Uppercase Z in Cursive

Begin by making a “2” shape but once your stroke meets the bottom line, make a quick loop on the inner, left side of the letter, almost directly below your starting point.

The form of the modern letter Y is derived from the Greek letter upsilon. The Romans first borrowed a form of upsilon – directly from the Greek alphabet, or from the Etruscan alphabet – as the single letter V, which represented both the vowel sound /u/ and the semivowel consonant sound /w/.
