How to Practice Cursive S
1. Trace the shape
Use a smooth upper curve and a small lower curve; avoid making the letter too narrow.
2. Write slowly
Use lined paper and write several careful copies before trying to connect the letter into words.
3. Connect forward
Finish with a clear exit stroke so the next letter has a smooth place to begin.
Common Mistake
