How to write O
Start with a clear capital and small print form. Follow the ordered strokes, then copy the letter without tracing.
Learn the capital and small cursive O →
Capital O
- Start at the top and curve left down the side of the large oval.
- Continue around the bottom and up the right side to close at the starting point.
Small o
- Start at x-height and curve left around the small oval.
- Continue around the baseline and up the right side to close the oval at the top.
Watch for this: An unclosed oval makes the small o resemble c. Return to the starting point without adding a tail or a second loop.
