How to write September in cursive
- Start with a capital S (undercurve, loop, 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 S, then write the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the p (undercurve, slant, loop, overcurve, curve back, undercurve): a long slant below the baseline with a small bowl that closes on the baseline.
- Swing up into the t (undercurve, slant, undercurve; cross): a tall retraced undercurve and slant, shorter than the l, crossed after the word is written.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the m (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): three humps made with overcurves, all the same height.
- 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 e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- 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.
- After the word, cross the t.

September questions
How many strokes does it take to write September in cursive?
3 strokes: 2 continuous runs of letters, because a capital that stands alone forces a pencil lift, then cross the t. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Which letters in September 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 "September" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is September capitalized in cursive?
Yes. "September" is a proper noun and takes a capital letter wherever it appears.
What is the hardest letter in September?
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.
