Cursive O
o is the one short letter that leaves from the top, and that single stroke is why it joins to almost anything. A cursive o is a short letter, and it hands over to the next letter high.
This is the same renderer the generator uses. Open it with o already filled in to change size, rows and guides, then print.
How to write a cursive o
- Start just below the midline, curve left and around.
- Close the loop on the baseline, then continue up the right side.
- Exit from the top right, level with the midline.
A o sits in the short zone. Capital O is one closed loop from the top, finishing with a small tail at the top right.
Joining o to the next letter
o is the one short letter that exits high, which is why it joins so easily to everything. oa, oo, ou.
Where it usually goes wrong
The exit stroke is left out and o becomes a closed circle that the next letter cannot reach. Always carry the stroke above the loop.
Words to practise after the letter
Once the single letter holds its shape, put it into short words where it appears once: to, go, book. Type any of them into the generator above and it will lay out eight ruled rows of tracing for you.
