MaKe curved siroKe upward witn mile Jinger slipping lowara me right. Straight line is made quickly yet Jirmly downward. Watch slant and spacing.
The w has two angles, two turns and a finish like in v. Get the two parts to appear equal in width. The retrace 1
should be made carefully. Better make a complete stop. It's a red traffic light and failmg to stop will get you (
into trouble. j
The movement should be free on all but the retrace. i
Count: 1-2-3-4.
y /•//////////////////
The u has two angles on top and two turns on the bottom. The down strokes are straight and on the same slant.
The three up strokes are the same length and curve. They are part of large ovals.
The little finger should glide freely on the up strokes. On the down strokes the little finger does not slide so
freely. The u is the same as two undotted i's.
Count: 1-2-3.
The n is similar to u, therefore, we must be careful to make two turns at the top, and an angle and turn at the
bottom for legibility. The downstrokes should be straight and parallel. All three turns should be equal. Make the
last part as carefully as the first part, otherwise, the last dovvn stroke may be off slant.
Glide the little finger freely in making n. Keep the hand from turning over on its side.
Count: 1-2-3.
