Otto in Cursive
Watch the name Otto drawn in cursive stroke by stroke, trace it on the writing lines, and print a free practice worksheet.
Otto takes 4 strokes to write in cursive — the capital O on its own, then t-t-o in one continuous stroke; then go back to cross the t (×2). The animation below draws it on the writing lines exactly the way children practice it in Scribble; trace it after, then take the worksheet to paper.
How to write Otto in cursive
- 1Write the capital O, then lift the pencil.
- 2Write t, t, o as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
- 3Go back and cross the t (×2).
Size is what makes Otto readable: full-height capital O, tall t, and midline-height o. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.
How the letters in Otto connect
Follow the joins as you write Otto: t ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of t; t ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of o. Remember: the capital O stands alone, so lift the pencil before the next letter.
