Lowercase o in cursive
- Start at the midline and curve left and down into a small oval.
- Close the oval back at the midline.
- Add a small tuck at the top; the next letter joins from this high point.
Common mistakes with cursive O
- Dropping the exit stroke to the baseline; lowercase o leaves from the midline.
- Pulling the join down, which makes the next letter look too tall or misaligned.
- Leaving the oval open at the top, which makes o look like a c or a u.
