How to write February in cursive
- Start with a capital F (curve right; double curve, curve up, slide right; cross). Stroke 1: start at the topline and curve right to make the wavy top bar.
- Lift the pencil after the F, then write the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into 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 r (undercurve, slide right, slant, undercurve): an undercurve, a short slide to the right at the midline, then a slant down.
- Swing up into the u (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve): two undercurves side by side, the opposite motion of the n.
- Swing up into the a (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): a small oval closed at the midline, then a slant down and an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the r (undercurve, slide right, slant, undercurve): an undercurve, a short slide to the right at the midline, then a slant down.
- 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, finish the F with its top bar, cross the F.

February questions
How many strokes does it take to write February in cursive?
4 strokes: 2 continuous runs of letters, because a capital that stands alone forces a pencil lift, then finish the F with its top bar, cross the F. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Which letters in February 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 "February" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is February capitalized in cursive?
Yes. "February" is a proper noun and takes a capital letter wherever it appears.
What is the hardest letter in February?
The f and the r. Practice f right after l and g: the top half is an l, the bottom half is a mirrored g loop. r is the letter most adults get wrong. The slide right is tiny: think of a small step, not a hump.
