How to write Nova in cursive
- Start with a capital N (curve forward, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve). Start at the baseline. Curve forward to the topline and slant down to the baseline.
- 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 v (overcurve, slant, undercurve, checkstroke): an overcurve down to the baseline and back up, ending with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the v, write the a (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): a small oval closed at the midline, then a slant down and an undercurve out.
How the letters in Nova connect
- No N to o: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the N swings up into the o.
- ov o to v: a checkstroke join. The o ends at the midline, so the v starts from the top instead of from the baseline.
- va v to a: a checkstroke join. The v ends at the midline, so the a starts from the top instead of from the baseline.

Nova questions
How many strokes does it take to write Nova 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 Nova are joined at the midline?
The o, v. 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 "Nova" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is Nova capitalized in cursive?
Yes. Nova is a name, so it always starts with a capital N. The capital N joins the next letter.
Is Nova an easy word to write in cursive?
Yes. None of its letters (n, o, v, a) is among the tricky ones (r, s, f, k, b), which makes "Nova" a good early practice word.
