How to write Oscar in cursive
- Start with a capital O (downcurve, undercurve, curve right). Start at the topline. Curve down and around to the left to make a large oval that touches the baseline.
- Lift the pencil after the O, then write 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 c (downcurve, undercurve): a single curve that opens to the right, like a print c with an undercurve out.
- 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.

Oscar questions
How many strokes does it take to write Oscar 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 Oscar 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 "Oscar" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is Oscar capitalized in cursive?
Yes. Oscar is a name, so it always starts with a capital O. The capital O stands alone: lift the pencil after it.
What is the hardest letter in Oscar?
The s and the r. 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. r is the letter most adults get wrong. The slide right is tiny: think of a small step, not a hump.
