How to write down in cursive
- 1Write d, o, w, n as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
Keep o, w, and n small — they live between the baseline and the midline. Let d climb toward the topline.
How the letters in down connect
Follow the joins as you write down: d ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of o; o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the undercurve opening of w; w ends on a checkstroke that carries into the overcurve opening of n.
The letters in down
down is only as good as its letters. Each card links to the full guide — animation, joins, quiz, and worksheet — for that letter.
Trace down in cursive
Trace it the way children do in the app: start on the green circle and pull it along every stroke without straying off the word.
Put your finger or mouse on the circle and pull it through the word.
