Bella questions
How many strokes does it take to write Bella in cursive?
2 strokes: 2 continuous runs of letters, because a capital that stands alone forces a pencil lift. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Which letters in Bella are joined at the midline?
The b. 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 "Bella" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is Bella capitalized in cursive?
Yes. Bella is a name, so it always starts with a capital B. The capital B stands alone: lift the pencil after it.
Is Bella an easy word to write in cursive?
Yes. None of its letters (b, e, l, a) is among the tricky ones (r, s, f, k, b), which makes "Bella" a good early practice word.
