A cursive capital O is easy to write. It’s almost exactly like a handwritten capital O. The lowercase cursive o is also exactly like a lowercase handwritten o.
The letter o in cursive usually connects to the letter p in words like:
- oppression
- opposition
Cursive o’s also connect to the letter x in many words. Some of these include:
- oxford
- oxidant
After you become comfortable with writing the letter o in cursive, practice writing “op” together as well as “ox.” These are called “connectors” and will help you understand how cursive works to form words.
Bonus Practice: This letter doesn’t begin many words, but it is included in many. Try many different words and phrases to practice connected an o to the rest of the alphabet.
Writing an Uppercase O in Cursive
As you see in the diagram (above), begin the capital O at the top line, make a handwritten “o” shape. After making the “o” shape, you should be back at the topline, from there make a small loop on the right, inside of the top of the O.
Please watch our short tutorial video showing exactly how to write both upper and lowercase.
Writing a Lowercase o in Cursive
Just like the capital cursive O, begin your stroke just below the centerline, making a handwritten lowercase o shape. After that, just like the capital o, make a small loop in the top of the o. Make sure it is out to the right to either end the letter or connect to your next letter.
