How to write book in cursive
- Start with the b (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve, checkstroke): a tall loop that comes back down to the baseline, then a small curve ending in a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the b, write the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the k (undercurve, loop, slant, overcurve, loop, curve right, undercurve): a tall loop like an l, then a small loop at the midline and a kick-out stroke.
How the letters in book connect
- bo b to o: a checkstroke join. The b ends at the midline, so the o starts from the top instead of from the baseline.
- oo o to o: a checkstroke join. The o ends at the midline, so the o starts from the top instead of from the baseline.
- ok o to k: a checkstroke join. The o ends at the midline, so the k starts from the top instead of from the baseline.

Book questions
How many strokes does it take to write book in cursive?
1 stroke: one continuous stroke for the letters. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Which letters in book are joined at the midline?
The b, o. These letters end 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 "book" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is book capitalized in cursive?
Only at the start of a sentence or in a title. In running text "book" is written in lowercase, all letters joined. The capitalized form Book is shown above for sentence openers and headings.
What is the hardest letter in book?
The k. k is one of the hardest lowercase letters. Master h first: the k is an h whose hump collapses into a loop.
