How to write because in cursive

  1. 1Write b, e, c, a, u, s, e as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
Strokes: 1Pencil lifts: 0Letters: 7

b is a tall letter that reaches toward the topline. e, c, a, u, and s stay between the baseline and the midline.

How the letters in because connect

Follow the joins as you write because: b ends on a checkstroke that carries into the undercurve opening of e; e ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of c; c ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of a; a ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of u; u ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of s; the remaining 1 joins follow the same rhythm to the end of the word.
