How to write read in cursive
- 1Write r, e, a, d as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
Size is what makes read readable: tall d and midline-height r, e, and a. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.
How the letters in read connect
Follow the joins as you write read: r ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of e; e ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of a; a ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of d.
