How to write Anthony in cursive
- Start with a capital A (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve). Start just below the topline. Curve down and around to the left to make a large oval that touches the baseline.
- Swing up into the n (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): two rounded humps made with overcurves.
- Swing up into the t (undercurve, slant, undercurve; cross): a tall retraced undercurve and slant, shorter than the l, crossed after the word is written.
- Swing up into the h (undercurve, loop, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): a tall loop followed by a hump, like an l and an n joined together.
- Swing up into the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the n (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): two rounded humps made with overcurves.
- Swing up into the y (overcurve, slant, undercurve, slant, loop, overcurve): an overcurve, a slant, an undercurve and a second slant that drops below the baseline into a loop.
- After the word, cross the t.

Anthony questions
How many strokes does it take to write Anthony in cursive?
2 strokes: one continuous stroke for the letters, then cross the t. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Which letters in Anthony are joined at the midline?
The o. This letter ends with a short bridge stroke at the midline, so the next letter starts from the top rather than from the baseline. That is what makes "Anthony" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is Anthony capitalized in cursive?
Yes. Anthony is a name, so it always starts with a capital A. The capital A joins the next letter.
Is Anthony an easy word to write in cursive?
Yes. None of its letters (a, n, t, h, o, y) is among the tricky ones (r, s, f, k, b), which makes "Anthony" a good early practice word.
