How to read this page
A cursive word is only as good as its joins, and a join is decided by where the letter exits. b leaves from the top right, o leaves from the top and loops back, v leaves from the top. Practise the exit stroke on the single letter until it is automatic, and the word stops falling apart halfway through.
The usual order that works: c, a, d, g, q (they all start the same way), then i, t, u, w, then the letters with loops — e, l, h, k, b — and the descenders f, j, p, y, z last. Same shape, same start, less to remember.
Letters that trip people up
r and s: both are narrow, both get rushed. r stops at the midline and turns; s closes at the bottom and exits low. f is the only letter that uses all three zones — it climbs, sits and dives. Practise it alone before it appears in a word.
