How to write Jackson in cursive
- Start with a capital J (overcurve, slant, loop, overcurve). Start at the baseline. Curve over to the topline, then slant down through the baseline into the descender space.
- 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 c (downcurve, undercurve): a single curve that opens to the right, like a print c with an undercurve out.
- Swing up into 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.
- 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 Jackson connect
- Ja J to a: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the J swings up into the a.
- ac a to c: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the a swings up into the c.
- ck c to k: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the c swings up into the k.
- ks k to s: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the k 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.

Jackson questions
How many strokes does it take to write Jackson 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 Jackson 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 "Jackson" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is Jackson capitalized in cursive?
Yes. Jackson is a name, so it always starts with a capital J. The capital J joins the next letter.
What is the hardest letter in Jackson?
The k and the s. k is one of the hardest lowercase letters. Master h first: the k is an h whose hump collapses into a loop. 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.
