How to write lowercase o in cursive
Stroke by stroke
- Arrive at the midline and pull back into a counterclockwise oval, as for a.
- Close the oval at the top.
- Make a small loop or overlap at the top where the stroke meets itself.
- Leave to the right along the midline in a short bridge.
Common mistakes
- Dropping the exit. If o exits from the baseline like a, the letter reads as a. Keep the exit at the midline.
- Open top. An oval that does not close becomes u or v. Close it before the bridge.
- Sagging bridge. A bridge that dips toward the baseline makes the next letter start too low. Keep it level.
Easy to confuse with
Lowercase o is most often misread as a, v and u. The closed oval and the bridge at the midline separate o from all three: a exits low, v has a point at the bottom, and u is open at the top.
Joining to the next letter
Lowercase o exits at the midline, so the next letter starts from the top of its body. On runs into the hump of n. Or turns into the shoulder of r. Ou dips down into the first cup of u, and of carries the bridge up to the tall loop of f.

Questions about lowercase o
Why does cursive o end at the middle line?
Lowercase o is a bridge letter, like b, v and w. The high exit keeps it from looking like a and sets up the next letter.
How do I join cursive o to e?
Let the bridge dip slightly and then loop up into the e. Without the dip, oe often reads as oi.
