Writing cursive r and R
The letter examples and writing notes on this page use Playwrite US Trad. The Modern option changes the worksheet model; some letter shapes and joins are different.
The upper curve of lowercase r rises a little above the midline in Traditional. In Modern, it sits nearer the midline.
r finishes with an upstroke from the baseline that leads straight into the next letter, so you keep the pencil down through the word.
Watch the difference between r and s. Writing them side by side on one row helps.
Capital R reaches around the top line; its main body stays above the baseline.
