Cursive T

How to write cursive t

1. Swing up from the baseline, past the midline, and stop about halfway to the top line — t is shorter than l, b or d.
2. Come straight back down the same stroke to the baseline.
3. Exit to the right into the next letter.
4. Finish the word, then cross the stem with a short bar at the midline.

The capital T

Capital T is not a bigger t: a long wave along the top line, then a stem hanging from its right end down to the baseline. Nothing crosses it.

Print at 100% on US Letter — not “fit to page”. The ruling is classroom size, and scaling the page down makes every letter the wrong size; the 10 cm scale at the foot of the sheet is there to check against. Every block gives you a model row in full ink, a pale row to trace over and empty ruled rows of your own.
