How to write Grayson in cursive
- Start with a capital G (undercurve, loop, curve forward, double curve, curve up, curve right). Start at the baseline. Make an undercurve up to the topline and a loop back to the left.
- Lift the pencil after the G, then 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 a (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): a small oval closed at the midline, then a slant down and an undercurve out.
- 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.
- Swing up into the s (undercurve, curve down, undercurve): an undercurve to the midline, a curve back down that closes on the upstroke, then an undercurve out.
- 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.
How the letters in Grayson connect
- Gr The capital G stands alone. Lift the pencil and start the r fresh on the baseline.
- ra r to a: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the r swings up into the a.
- ay a to y: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the a swings up into the y.
- ys y to s: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the y swings up into the s.
- so s to o: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the s swings up into the o.
- on o to n: a checkstroke join. The o ends at the midline, so the n starts from the top instead of from the baseline.

Grayson questions
How many strokes does it take to write Grayson 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 Grayson 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 "Grayson" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is Grayson capitalized in cursive?
Yes. Grayson is a name, so it always starts with a capital G. The capital G stands alone: lift the pencil after it.
What is the hardest letter in Grayson?
The r and the s. r is the letter most adults get wrong. The slide right is tiny: think of a small step, not a hump. Cursive s is the most searched letter for a reason: it looks nothing like print. Write it as an upstroke with a little belly, not as a snake.
