Letter families
- Oval capitals (A, C, E, O): Start at the top right and circle counterclockwise like a large oval letter.
- Stem-and-bowl capitals (B, D, P, R): Draw a slanted stem first, retrace it, then swing out into a rounded bowl.
- Wave-top capitals (F, T): Write the wavy top stroke first, then add the stem and crossbar.
- Loop capitals (G, I, J, L, Q, S): Sweep up into a large loop and come back down through it.
- Hook-and-slant capitals (H, K, M, N, U, V, W, X, Y, Z): Begin with a small hook near the top, pull a slant stroke down, then add humps or a second stroke.

Questions
How many uppercase cursive letters are there?
26, one for each letter of the alphabet. Several look quite different from print, especially G, Q and Z.
Do uppercase cursive letters connect to the next letter?
Some do and some don't. A, C, E, I, J, K, L, M, N, Q, R, U, X, Y, Z run straight into the next letter; B, D, F, G, H, O, P, S, T, V, W stand on their own.
